HomeActor Rufus Jones has been writing bits and pieces - mostly sketches - for quite a while now. Home, however, marks his first full foray into sitcom, and with remarkable success. It follows a small, modern family unit from Surrey who return home from a continental summer holiday and are shocked to find Syrian refugee Sami hidden in their car boot. As he tries to settle in - and fit in - to English life, Sami's presence challenges all in the family. Almost wholly eschewing the predictable gags and digs about tolerance, asylum seekers, refugees, ethnic minorities and the like that many more experienced writers would have packed in, it's a wonderfully thought-provoking - and, as the quote on the cover says, "properly funny" - new sitcom. Rebekah Station co-stars, with guest appearances from the likes of Reece Shearsmith. |

Mr. TopazeChosen by the British public to be digitised by the BFI in 2016, Peter Sellers directs and stars in this bittersweet character comedy based on a Marcel Pagnol short story. Described by Sellers's biographer, Roger Lewis, as a lost classic, Mr. Topaze marked the actor's official directorial debut, and teams him with his Ladykillers and Pink Panther series co-star Herbert Lom in a cast that also features Billie Whitelaw, Leo McKern, John Le Mesurier and Joan Sims. Playing the eponymous Mr Topaze, a poor, provincial French schoolteacher slowly corrupted by big business, Sellers is at the peak of his powers. Unseen for decades, this lost British comedy classic is available for the first time on Blu-ray and DVD and is essential viewing for fans of Sellers's unique brand of humour. |

Richard (played by Peter Davison) and Sarah (Samantha Bond) juggle their way through life's minor disruptions, such as well-meaning TV crews turning up unannounced, summons to the headmaster's office to discuss teen Kate and the arrival of Sarah's sister with a horse-box full of expressionist art and three moulting cats. On top of it all, Sarah considers a third child. Perhaps a holiday will do? Written by son and father team Andy and Eric Merriman (best known for Beyond Our Ken), the series was inspired by Andy's own four-year-old daughter, Sarah. |

Sofie Hagen - Happy FatA searing and impassioned debut from comedian Sofie Hagen - who urges us to fight back and reframe our toxic relationships with our bodies. Sofie Hagen has always been fat. But after years of struggling with her body image and subjecting herself to countless diets, Sofie began to question the incessant body shaming and internalised fatphobia that she had always taken for granted. She started to worry less about fad diets and impossible beauty ideals and began to challenge the origins of these superficial aspirations. Fat is a response to this exploration: part-memoir, part-social commentary, Sofie describes how she conquered a negative relationship with her body and provides practical tips for readers to do the same - drawing wisdom from fat liberation champions along the way. |

Not blessed with patience, empathy, or any kind of paternal instinct whatsoever, cantankerous, blunt and grumpy, Warren barely tolerates his students, not to mention the two teenage stepsons he never wanted. To put it delicately, Warren's naturally difficult personality means he's constantly finding himself in sticky situations. Set in his ways, he's happy with a clean house, a neat garden, and a nice cup of tea...but always seems to end up on the verge of absolutely losing it. |
