5:47 pm
one. i did wonder. it is four old friends who have been going to a book club for 30 or a0 year, they had marriages, some have, their husbands have died, some are divorced, they have children, they have grown up, they get given a new book and it is el what's her name, 50 shades of grey, who wrote that book? any way, someone wrote it. . we know the book. whoever wrote it! this puts themselves in all in a tizzy, the soft erotica makes them feel perhaps they are wasting their time and they should be reigniting their sex life, so they decide to do so their sex life, so they decide to do so including receiving gentleman callers for the first time in many year, here is diane keaton answering the door to a new boyfriend.
5:48 pm
0k, you're going to be great. great. this is going to be amazing. let's get to the window. just act natural. well, hey you. oh, good, you're home. he's wearing jeans. i love a man injeans. let me see. he's got a cute tush. um... oh, you brought me flowers? there you go. thank you so much. he brought flowers. i love a man who brings flowers. if you don't like them, you have to blame your neighbour, i picked them from their garden. oh, you're kidding me. no. the last time she went on a date she got pregnant. i don't think that's going to happen this time! there you go. is it... i say this as a massive fan of grace and frankie which jane fonda in. that is the
5:49 pm
talking about getting older and the trials and tribulation, does this do it as well. that is andy garcia at the door. i didn't recognise. he hasn't changed that much. he was sort of diane keaton‘s nephew in the godfather three so that is weird. casting issues are the least of this film's worries to be honest. yes, it should be aimed at older women. my mum has been a member of a book club andi mum has been a member of a book club and i thought they went round to discuss literature or the latest barbara taylor bradford, they guzzle gallons of wine and melt into terrible innuendo about viagra, that is what these people do. i think this is very patronising this film. pa rt this is very patronising this film. part of the fact it waists four great actresses with terrible script, bad lighting, bad editing you are waiting for the laughs to come and they are not there. it gets embarrassing seeing jane fonda who was sexually forward thinking in the
5:50 pm
‘705 was sexually forward thinking in the ‘70s with films like absolute and diane keaton who set the bar with any haul. this puts it backwards. i am all for older women talking about their sex lives and having sec, that is fine, but here, itjust felt their sex lives and having sec, that is fine, but here, it just felt that none of these people were real at all, or got themselves into real situations, that might be construed at comic. and it is a waste of talent which is a shame. shame. i would like your mum to review the film. take us through something you enjoyed more. yes this is a sexy french thriller which is how i like them. it is called l'amant double. we are au fait with these we don't need to translate them. it is about a young woman called chloe who works in an art gallery who goes to see an psychiatrist who get rid of an existential pain she has, her psychiatrist falls in love with her
5:51 pm
so psychiatrist falls in love with her so he can't treat her, so he sends her to another one who looks a bit like him, could it be his evil twin brother? does he give out a different treatment to chloe. i hope people are keeping up. it not easy to keep up, you think what has just happened. some of it is saucy, i take... ilike happened. some of it is saucy, i take... i like my french people naked. that is sort of how they should be in the cinema. i think maybe, during brexit negotiation we should imagine our french audience naked. things might go smoother. don't bring brexit into it! that is too much. it is by a french director who is a fine french director, it is about genderfluidity, who is a fine french director, it is about gender fluidity, sexual identity, duality, old and young, it isa identity, duality, old and young, it is a smart film, dressed up as one of these, almost one of those flashy american thrillers like, do you remember nine—and—a—half weeks. showing our age talking about that.
5:52 pm
it harks back to that. style lynch, beautiful, the man and woman are very sexy leads, it very well done. 0k and now we move the football. yes. it is all happening this week. rude gull lit called it sexy football. a new documentary about bobby robson, the england manager during maradona's hand of god incident in 86 and for that shoot out in italian 90 where we went out to germany. but it is not bobby robson's fault. what people forget he managed at barcelona, in holland and porto, in portugal where he won titles and met jose and porto, in portugal where he won titles and metjose mourinho, who became his assistant and was in shot co nsta ntly. became his assistant and was in shot constantly. whatever happened to him! it is terrific. it is about the relationship, this he had as a manager, perhaps the most famous
5:53 pm
with was his relationship with a footballer called gazza. paul gascoigne. sound guy. crazy as hell. i call him daft as a brush, and he was. daft as a brush, yeah, he can be that. that. so i had to wait until he was absolutely ready, until we felt we could really rely on him. he says if you play well i'm going to pick you for the world cup. commentator: gascoigne! thank you very much. going to spend two hours tomorrow with him, to try and restore a bit of confidence, you know, he's lacking in confidence, isn't he, the boy. do you have to be an absolute football lover to enjoy this as a or
5:54 pm
does it tell you lots of things a the man you didn't know beforem does it tell you lots of things a the man you didn't know before it is my era of football fandom, but it is more about this man, bobby robson who was vilified in the press many time, who kept going through it, it is about the career of someone lasting, and becoming something greater than football, because his lasting legacy as the film shows his cancer unit he set up in newcastle which is saving live, he did bring huge smiles to the nation. the maradona incident is one of the most famous you will see, italia 90 is etched on people. the fact he was a european football manager with a great odyssey, is he is the last english manager to have won a rowy in 1997 so he belongs to a different era. i thought this was a warm, sort of outstandingly informational documentary as well. it taught me stuff i had forgotten and there is
5:55 pm
great goals and fiendish behaviours of footballers. it is about being more than a manager. fascinating and bra great documentary. thank you. best out this week an animated film i thought was terrific. yes, this is the bread winner. it was an oscar nominee, it didn't win, but this is very different. i love the style of animation, an irish animation house but pixar illustrated arabic tale, it is dominated by the taliban where an 11—year—old girl has to disguise herself as a boy in order to keep herself as a boy in order to keep herfamily alive. herself as a boy in order to keep her family alive. women are not even allowed to go to the market. so it is about the freedoms she deliciously first experiences and the sadness she has to change gender to do so. it is innocent and beautiful, and it is about telling stories as well and keeping those
5:56 pm
storiesing a live. it is very different to your smooth kind of committee honed pixar films. different to your smooth kind of committee honed pixarfilms. it has heart and soul and a brave girl at the heart of it. a terrific story and beautifully told, and a cracking dvv for anyone who wants to stay in. more genderfluidsty, a fantastic woman. it is about a transgendered nightclub singer in chile, who loses her lover and has to face society on her lover and has to face society on her own without her lover. brilliantly played by daniela vega. she does stare at you. she is proud, enigmatic and fantastic. wonderful. thank you. good to see you. thank you yo you very much indeed. a mixed bag of ebbing woo. enjoy your cinema going whatever you are getting up to. see you this time next week. thanks for being with us. goodbye. practising my proud looks there, i

in those neck of woods but there is a bit of rain to be that had in east anglia but there are showers in wales, the midlands up into the north of england and we described them. many of those tending to fade away, as get on through the night. what is going to be another close night. 11 to 16 or sow should cover it. and then, a dry enough start and thatis it. and then, a dry enough start and that is the way it stays, but it is a significant but, there will be be, we think a line of these thunderstorms again, developing any from about the wash to lincolnshire, just inland for theest co—but they could just keep on coming on this line that gets up to the scottish borders and there are plenty to be had in the heart of scotland, so thatis had in the heart of scotland, so that is saturday done and dusted. there is a goodly portion of the south and west midlands, wales, southern england that will be dry. 0n southern england that will be dry. on sunday a dotting of the showers and again there is still that possibility given the amount of heat
5:59 pm
there is this the atmosphere and the humidity as well, that we will see one 01’ humidity as well, that we will see one or two thunderstorm, but for the most pa rt one or two thunderstorm, but for the most part that is a decent weekend provided you are not on that line i have described on saturday. here we are into the start of next week and we have got this high pressure very much the dominant feature, and that givings us a more settled, fresher look to the weather, quite a lot of cloud in that flow, coming in off the north sea, so around about 17—2 degrees or so, —— 20 degrees. a lot of fine and settled weather, but in the short—term, please remember what i say about those thunderstorms. the trade war widens, europe, canada
6:00 pm
and mexico hit back with new us trade tariffs with taxes of their own... hundreds of iconic american products like genes could cost up to 25% more. “ like genes could cost up to 25% more. -- jeans. this will never be a solution and could hurtjobs in the european union and the us. it's all in retaliation against taxes slapped on non—us steel and aluminium by president trump to protect american industry. we will look at how it could affect british jobs and prices in shops. also tonight... it's very inconvenient and inconsiderate. passengers are furious as hundreds of planes are cancelled again today in the north and south of england. a
