'Separation', scripted by and starring Jane Arden, concerns the inner life of a woman during a period of breakdown - marital, and possibly mental. Her past and (possible?) future are revealed through a fragmented but brilliantly achieved and often humorous narrative, in which dreams and desires are as real as the 'swinging' London of the film's setting. Featuring the unique sounds of Procol Harum, 'Separation' is stunningly photographed in monochrome, with leading British artist Mark Boyle's distinctive liquid light colour projections used throughout. - Director:
- Jack Bond

Torn between two lovers - one of them is her best friend's bloke and one of them is dead! • Does a Knightrider snow-globe necessarily count as "tacky crap"?
- Is a tattoo of Kris Akabusi a suitable memorial for a dead husband?
- Under what circumstances can an erection be classified asan emergency?
- Is there really something Gaz wants more than to be filmed having sex with Donna - in a Mondeo - with a sheep in the back seat?
The Archer has been re-furbished - there's now a picture of John Barrowman behind the bar - but little else has changed for the Runcorn Five. Oh, except Donna is now working behind the bar, Louise is pregnant and, as Jonny has been eaten by a shark in Hawaii, Gaz is now forced to share his masturbation fantasies with Munch... Jonny's death affects them all in different ways: Janet decides she must get through the five stages of grief quicker than Darren Day on a stage full of blondes, Louise finds the answer to her accommodation problems and Gaz comes over all paternal. And, as Donna gets a career and Louise gets motherhood, will Janet and Gaz finally get each other..?- Director:

They're demolishing the Archers - and that's just the start of the nightmare! Might Gaz go into the red at the sperm bank? Would Jonny really swap Corinthian McVitie for a t-shirt? Could Louise be Princess Diana's and Nelson Mandela's love child? Would pork scratchings really beat mini cheddars in the World Cup final of bar snacks? The arrival of Corinthian McVitie seems to have had little effect on the lives of the gang. Jonny decides to be a farmer - well at least come home with farm produce; Janet tries elves and sex; Gaz sacks himself; Donna becomes a bloke and Louise discovers her real father is gay - and fancies Jonny. It's not all babies and tantric sex. While Gaz and Jonny debate who is Corinthian's real father, Janet and Donna are battling over who gets the bar manager's job in the Archers. And as the pub gets closer to demolition, all five are drawn back for a final session - a real night to remember. - Director:
