The Trip to the Northern Lights
Synopsis
Steve and Rob have both reached a landmark age of 60 and have been invited by The Guardian to explore the spectacular, wild landscapes of Scandinavia. The rugged, moody North marks a departure from the sunny invitation of past Trips, where they will be greeted by huskies on snow-capped mountains and feast on sustainably sourced delectable foods.

Greed
Director: Michael Winterbottom

GREED tells the story of self-made British billionaire Sir Richard McCreadie (Steve Coogan), whose retail empire is in crisis. For 30 years he has ruled the world of retail fashion – bringing the high street to the catwalk and the catwalk to the high street – but after a damaging public inquiry, his image is tarnished. To save his reputation, he decides to bounce back with a highly publicised and extravagant party celebrating his 60th birthday on the Greek island of Mykonos. A satire on the grotesque inequality of wealth in the fashion industry, the film sees McCreadie’s rise and fall through the eyes of his biographer, Nick (David Mitchell).
