broad strokes to those characters, but in exactly the same way as i didn't mind it with made in dagenhamwhat it is doing is attempting to tell that story to the widest possible audience, because what you don't want to be singing to the choir. you don't want to be making a story about the subject to people who already know it, but to those who already know it, but to those who don't know about it. this really happened and it was really meant remarkable. thumbs up from me. your second choice today. this is a brazilian film, and i talked about aquarius on the programme about a year or so ago. this is political satire. it takes some inspiration from that story, the most dangerous game, about hunting humans. it is a remote village that discovers it has effectively been written off the map. there phone signal has stopped working, their water has been cut off, they no longer appear on satellite maps, so they have effectively been deemed to exist, and then a bunch of rich, armed terrorists turn up led by 0do kir which is not a good sign, and it goes from being on one side as satire, to something

the film does tonally is it has a very good balance — in the same way as something like made in dagenham more recently, battle of the sexes does — of taking a very important, you know, socio—economic story and putting it in a form which is really entertaining. yes. so there are great performances. there's stuff like, you know, rhys ifans as eric morley, who is kind of the guy in charge of the competition, you know, explains... he is really good, i think, yes! and he's also really, really enjoying himself. yes! he's having a great time. you've got greg kinnear as bob hope who is kind of the celebrity guest — although actually, i think the show is stolen by leslie manville as his long—suffering wife dolores, who has kind of seen bob hope be at these competitions before. and then, at the centre of it, you have this — i mean, it is actually pretty much historically what happened... yes, yes. ..but told with great wit, great humour. we heard a couple people say well, they thought it was a bit flimsy. i think what they meant by flimsy was strangely accessible because i thought actually, the st
