No man is an island but Britain certainly is and by gosh it’s chock full of talented directors, actors, writers making this year’s Best of British Programme a corker. It includes beautiful stop motion animation I am Tom Moody about the delicate ego of a young musician finding his voice, tender drama Dylan’s Room about a mother dealing with the loss of her son which, despite such a sad topic manages to overflow with warmth, and inspiring documentary Walk Tall which combines animation and live action to tell the true story of the 1984 Olympic Athlete (and generally wonderful chap) George Weedon.
Recommended rating: cert 15
