Boris Goudphater is the first prototype cyborg to be developed by the World Security Network (WSN) to combat crime. The cyborg experiment failed due to a dangerous defect, but Goudphater managed to survive the de-commissioning process and escaped. Horribly disfigured, the evil wide-mouthed Goudphater is very angry and he’s out for revenge. Agent Crush the second prototype cyborg is also somewhat defective, but he’s trying to prove himself as a secret agent. Despite being furnished with all manner of superhero gadgets and hardware, Crush is prone to bumbling accidents and wreaks havoc wherever he goes.
However, in tandem with his creator Spanners and Spanners’ daughter Cassie his latest mission is to stop Goudphater from exploding a nuclear device at the earth’s magma core, which will cause every volcano to erupt, destroying the earth. A spectacular flying car chase through the streets of New York and the underground lava caverns lead to an explosive climax.
Despite his shortcomings, can Agent Crush prove that he really is the only man for the job and save the earth in time?

Stacey doesn't fit in at school and gets bullied about her clothes. She meets Carlie, a traveller girl who introduces her to magic and self-belief. Set on the Somerset levels with the lead roles played by local, non-professional actors.
'For the forty children who call it home, Mulberry Bush is their last chance. Excluded from school for extreme behaviour, and often having suffered severe emotional trauma, they are given three years at the Oxford boarding school to try to turn their lives around. Acclaimed documentary maker Kim Longinotto has once again turned her compassionate lens on to people living in extraordinary circumstances. The fragile young boys at the heart of her film lash out in shockingly extreme ways - hitting, swearing and spitting their way through the misery of their blighted childhoods. Endlessly patient and determined staff members verbally reason with the boys, whilst often having to restrain them physically. Hold Me Tight is ultimately a heartbreaking, engrossing study of dysfunction - of what happens when families break down. It also pays witness to the tremendous influence that adults hold - for bad and for good - upon growing children,' (Carol Nahra).
