A full length independant film written by Mark Felgate and Jason Bradbury is in the pipeline for fans of gritty British comedy, retro tech and movies of the 80s and 90s, offering a fresh and hilarious look at AI. Plot: When the world's most sophisticated AI unexpectedly goes rogue—the technologized world plunges into mayhem. In the epicenter of this chaos is a quirky band of video game aficionados at a retro gaming expo. Armed with nothing more than their vintage gaming consoles, floppy disks and classic home computers, these unlikely heroes must outsmart the most formidable digital intelligence ever devised. What it’s really about: It’s an 80s hacker movie, set in the modern day - and in an age of 24-hour connectivity - it’s a love letter to an era when computing and gaming were a lot simpler. More importantly, at it’s emotional core, ‘Ctrl AI Delete’ is about how a group of very ordinary friends dig deep and find a courage and resourcefullness they never knew they had, in order to fight against a global disaster. For more information - Ctrl AI Delete  Very proud to say that comedian and actor Paul Ricketts appears in the latest series of The Witcher on NETFLIX.

Arthur’s new book “100 Things I Meant To Tell You” is due to be published on 31 October 2019.
Rants, Rhymes and reportage from the original ‘Grumpy Old Man’. Description: Arthur Smith’s first book for many years, 100 Things I Meant to Tell You brings together 100 stories, poems and articles gathered over a colourful lifetime making a living on the comedy circuit. In 2005 Arthur turned down a Perrier Award for Lifetime Achievement, saying “They wanted to tell me I was old and cool; well, I know that already.” Currently the popular host of BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Comedy Club, he has travelled all over the British Isles and the rest of the world perform-ing and reporting on a range of subjects as diverse as Flotsam and Jetsom in Holland (in a series for BBC 1’s The One Show) and more recently, goat yoga in Ipswich, but never before has he corralled all these wonderful stories into book form. Some humorous, some anecdotal, some nostalgic and some extremely poignant, the stories include the time Arthur was arrested for ‘breach of the peace and possession of a megaphone’, the time he hitched a lift from a nun and heard his own voice (imitating Leonard Cohen) playing on her car radio, the fight he had with Billy Connolly, his flight in a Tiger Moth, and – in verse – his hatred of Teletubbies. Covering a huge range of subjects and emotions, tales of hilarious, chaotic antics are juxtaposed with gentle, bittersweet stories about love affairs that ended badly and his mother’s journey into dementia, making this a cornucopia of delight for Arthur Smith fans everywhere.
