oi’ orl or i always i know, is itjust me or i always feel sorry for the goalie who lets in five goals. they can't even go to the pub to join their sorrows afterwards because they are 17, or younger, so afterwards because they are 17, or younger, so what... you sit around having your little drink and saying... i'm sorry. i was thinking of the spanish goalkeeper. normally you guys feel the opposite of the guy... i like an underdog. you are not used to happy. nelson mandela said something effective, it's scarier to be at the top. a lot of people stay down because it's something they are used to and it's scary to be up there. winning must bea scary to be up there. winning must be a new thing. we did really well in the 2012 olympics, i'll have you know, and other things. the under 20s football team won as well and these are our future footballers. i'm just saying. they all look so chuffed. thank you for coming in and joining me the night and taking us through the newspapers tomorrow. thanks to you forjoining us as well. coming up next is the film

11:47 pm
andrew garfield battled the odds in breeze, there will be tears. you surprise me. let's is dark with call me by your name. ifeel like i've already seen the trailer for this ten times. is this because the producers think this is an awards contender? yes, we are entering awards season so you will hear the same film titles over and over and call me by your name will be one of those. it's from a director who is arguably the most stylish, most chic director out there at the moment. tilda swinton recommendation if you've never seen tilda swinton recommendation if you've never seen it, i am love. written by james ivory. you've never seen it, i am love. written byjames ivory. it's a love story set in the early 80s in northern italy, over one summer, about a 17—year—old boy whose father is an academic. ian fights over from america and in turn student to help him with his research over the summer. he falls in love with the intern. you've got timothy
11:48 pm
charlemagne playing the boy, and oliver, the intern. here they are. thank you so much. 0h, oliver, the intern. here they are. thank you so much. oh, my goodness. you are bigger than your picture. laughter hello. thank you for having me. you must be exhausted. . every single one of these will. nice
11:49 pm
to meet you, elio. you must be exhausted. a little bit. shalli bring things up to your room? sure. set in the 80s. bring things up to your room? sure. set in the 805. set in the 805, in italy, his mother is french which was why he was speaking french and there. language is an important part of the film. it's about this young boy trying to find out who he is, trying to find out his own personality and finding his own language. that's why there are lots of different languages going on in the film. ijust of different languages going on in the film. i just loved of different languages going on in the film. ijust loved it. it looks gorgeous. it's set in lombardi and la ke gorgeous. it's set in lombardi and lake garda, looking fantastic. in terms of being a young love story, a coming—of—age story, it's about the grey areas. it's not one of those cliched love stories where everything is really neat and all the eyes are dotted and the teas are crossed, it's about the complexities of it and the complexities of
11:50 pm
growing up. it resonated with me. perhaps it meanders a little bit but it's about a teenager on their summer holidays. that's when you meander, isn't it? i remember meandering a lot. you have a lot of time on your hands. exactly. there'5 a real sense of waiting for things to happen because it's set in the 80s, before the internet, before mobile phones. you are in the dark a lot of the time asked what is going on and what is happening and you get that sense i thought it was beautiful. wonderful, certainly looks beautiful. it'5 beautiful. wonderful, certainly looks beautiful. it's a stylish film, it has real personality of its own compared to previous two. it's because the comedy. it relates to this destruction of his homeland, it's a funny film. there's two reasons for that, one is the success of the guardians of the
11:51 pm
galaxy franchise. secondly, i mentioned at the top about the down under thing. the director is a guy called taika waititi who has had a lot of success in new zealand with his comedy dramas. he did the hunt for the wilder people and what we do in the shadows. he brings a lovely, deadpan, antipodean sensibility to the whole thing, as well as casting cate blanchett and carl levin in there, and of course chris hemsworth. i love the comedy of it. it's really funny and marks it as different from the others. there isn't much depth to it or threat to it, but you will laugh a lot. that's what people are really picking up on. and there's a lot to be said for that. absolutely. the final selection for this week is breathe. based on the true story of robin cavendish. a man in the late 50s, he was 28 years old. he was disabled by polio and this is the story of how he chose to live as full a life as possible, often
11:52 pm
using quite unconventional methods, and how he was supported by his wife, diana, throughout. directed by andy serkis, a directing debut for him, and claire foy and andrew garfield star in this. let's have a look. how do you feel? much better. diana, what happens if there is a power cut? you are working with a hand pump. it's a nifty bit of kit... look who's here! oh, look. there you go. ooh. look, jonathan. it's daddy. hello, jonathan.
11:53 pm
hello, dear boy. a proper tear—jerker? absolutely, not so much tugging on the heartstrings as yanking on them! you will blub. there are some funny moments but for me, mainly in the second half of the film. it was the funnier moments, or the more peculiar moments that really resonated. sometimes it is a little by the book and predictable, and inevitably, it will be compared to the theory of everything, the movie about steven hawking from a few years ago. maybe it doesn't have the charisma of that. but behind the camera we know andy serkis is a great actor and clearly he's a very good director. from now on after this we will see him directing as much as acting. he has a very confident style. that's a really interesting development. superb actor, he is a fantastically versatile actor. it is striking that he has chosen something that's a real tear—jerker as his first film?
11:54 pm
he said he read the script. it's actually his production partner — it's the story of his parents. his production partner is jonathan cavendish, but when andy serkis read the script he said it was the most emotional thing he had ever read, he had to make it, and it is an emotional watch. let's go onto something completely different — our film of the week. my goodness, i loved death of stalin. right, let's talk about it, then. isn't itjust clever satire? what i love about it, so much, was i watched it and laughed. so, a couple of weeks ago when i saw it. and in the fortnight since, what has really stayed with me is how chilling the whole thing is. i absolutely agree. of course it's an absurd situation these people find themselves in after the death of stalin in 1953 but then you see the backstabbing and the desperate clamouring around to hold onto some sort of power. and the things people will do which affect millions of their citizens in russia. it's chilling.
11:55 pm
and he never lets you forget that people were taken out of their bedss in the middle of the night and thrown into prison, or worse. it's important that that has to be in the film but it's done cleverly. you laugh at the ridiculousness of it but then you go, hang on, there's a dark side to this, which is classic satire. you can see there are five great people in the poster behind you but it's an ensemble cast. they are all fantastic but simon russell beale really stood out for me. he plays beria, the head of security in the secret police. a chilling performance. he's great but they all are great in it. yes, aren't they? fantastic. and a quick thought on the dvd, for anyone who doesn't want to head out? my cousin rachel, based on the daphne du maurier thriller set in victorian era, cornwall. sam claflin stars — he suspects his cousin rachel has killed a mutual relative. but the only problem is, as well as suspecting her,
11:56 pm
he is also falling in love with rachel, he's also seduced by her. he's in an odd position. we never really know whether she did it or not. you are kept guessing by the film. the rachel of the title is played by rachel weisz and just keeps her cards close to her chest throughout. it's a subtle performance and you are really kept guessing. excellent. james, it's good to see you. thank you for being with us. that's all from us for this week. enjoy your cinema—going. goodbye! hello there, the clocks go back in a couple of hours and about that time we'll find our weather changing as well. today, we had temperatures 17 degrees at aboyne, aberdeenshire, nat richard cheshire, average 1a in
11:57 pm
the south, 12 in the north. tomorrow, a significant fall in those maximum temperatures by as much as 8 degrees in aberdeenshire. today, we've had mild but very gusty and blustery westerly winds, but we are starting to see the wind direction changing, coming down from the arctic we will get a drop in temperatures, as colder air arrives. the cold air is coming behind this weather front. this is the cold air is coming behind this weatherfront. this is where the cold air is coming behind this weather front. this is where we start to see the winds changing. clear skies coming into northern areas. the weather front continuing southwards, keeping more cloud across other parts of england and were, maybe a few spots of rain and drizzle, keeping the temperature, milder than last night. lowest temperatures tonight across the northern half of the uk. more sunshine on sunday. cloudy stars in the south—west, the last of the rain clears devon and cornwall rain and mourning. some good spells of sunshine, running down the north sea coasts, where it will be windy. this is where it will feel much colder. further west and south, with the
11:58 pm
winds lighter and some sunshine, it shouldn't feel too bad. we will find an area of high pressure building across the uk during the course of the night. it pushes away any remaining strong winds. we will have largely clear skies. temperatures are only going one way, along largely clear skies. temperatures are only going one way, a long way down. those were the numbers in the towns and cities in the countryside, where we are going to be a couple of degrees either side of freezing. we haven't had much frost at all this month. it's nearly at an end. but monday morning could start off particularly chilly, with a grass frost at least in rural areas. it will gradually turn milder as we head into next week, because westerly winds will return, blowing in more cloud and keeping some rain mainly in the north—west. it shouldn't be an awful lot of rain either. not much rain on monday. after the cold start, plenty of sunshine around. it will tend to become more hazy across england and while. become more hazy across england and white. more cloud spilling into scotla nd white. more cloud spilling into scotland and northern ireland. temperatures struggling again to 9 degrees in newcastle, perhaps only 12 in plymouth. a little cooler than
11:59 pm
the course sunday. as we move into tuesday we start to see these west or south west early winds having an influence. it means much more cloud around. bits and pieces of rain, mainly across the north. temperatures will be a bit higher, back up to 13—111, or even 15 degrees. to the world news used to top stories... catalonia's former president vows to resist direct rule was peaceful opposition. the government in madrid says it would be happy if puigdemont would take pa rt be happy if puigdemont would take part in new elections to two
