Danny Dyer stars alongside creator and writer Ryan Sampson in Mr Bigstuff, and here’s the trailer for the new sitcom.
Danny Dyer may be better known these days as Mick Carter in EastEnders, but before that, he’d been a steady presence in British film for over two decades, from his debut in Justin Kerrigan’s Human Traffic through The Football Factory and Severance.
The one thing Dyer had never done was lead a sitcom – until now. Mr Bigstuff is created and written by Ryan Sampson, who’s perhaps best known for starring alongside Nicholas Lyndhurst and Celia Imrie in BBC sitcom After You’ve Gone, and for co-starring in ITV2 sitcom Plebs.
The synopsis, per the British Comedy Guide, reads as follows:
Mr Bigstuff explores broken families, fragile masculinity and carpet sales. It tells the story of two estranged brothers; Glen (Ryan Sampson), a nervy perfectionist striving to live...

Talk about cinematic ecstasy. Has any film captured the ‘90s rave generation like Human Traffic? Justin Kerrigan’s 1999 pilled-up cult classic is a rave-centric romp through a carnage-fuelled Cardiff weekend – a love-letter to getting loaded, featuring the first performance from Danny Dyer, and early turns from John Simm, Andrew Lincoln, and Shaun Parkes. The film has remained a firm favourite over the decades – and 25 years on, Empire celebrates its impact and ongoing legacy in a brand new anniversary feature, speaking to Kerrigan, Dyer and Simm about their memories of its madcap making.
Just like the on-screen antics, the creation of Human Traffic was something of a non-stop party – with all involved not holding back in bringing the good vibes to the screen. Take that legendary “Nice one, bruvva!” scene, in which Dyer’s Moff and Simm’s Jip end a phone call in endearingly chaotic style. “We pushed that to the absolute fucking extreme,...

Three young pirate radio DJs from London go in search of the New Year’s night of their lives in Yates’s likeable homage to 90s ensemble capers
Here is a likable and easygoing comedy from actor turned film-maker Reggie Yates. It’s a period piece set on New Year’s Eve 1999, featuring flip phones and someone frowning over a copy of the London A-z, muttering how good it would be if someone invented a navigation screen like the ones planes have. It’s also a playful homage to the one-crazy-night ensemble pictures of the 90s (although Yates avoids the freezeframe-voiceover character introductions that became a key cliche of Britfilm around that time), and there’s a clubbing theme that recalls Justin Kerrigan’s Human Traffic, which came out in 1999.

Justin Kerrigan was all of 25 when he wrote and directed the semi-autobiographical comedy Human Traffic (1999) about five teens partying their way through the Cardiff club scene over one long weekend. In the New York Times, Elvis Mitchell called this winner of a British Independent Film Award for Best Achievement in Production and the Best Director award at the Thessaloniki Film Festival a "blissfully hedonistic film" with "something singular: wastrel verve. It revels in its foolishness, and in its likable characters." It's "about that stage of life when partying has more allure than whatever minor employment one endures…. Kerrigan's directing debut cribs from so many sources that he operates as a filmmaking pickpocket. The blast of energy that informs this petty larceny is completely his own, though, and the movie seems to skateboard through his stream of consciousness. He is just throwing out whatever comes to mind, and his enthusiasm generates excitement.

The actors do their best, but this homage to the 90s rave scene is rammed with cliches and silliness
Doing justice to the rave scene on screen isn't easy, though Justin Kerrigan managed it with charm and wit in his 1999 movie Human Traffic. This film, sadly, is something else again: it's rammed with cliches and silliness and conforms to a lot of stereotypes, the most suspect being the obligatory scene in Ibiza whose only purpose is to show loads of young women with no tops on. Jack O'Connell and Henry Lloyd-Hughes play a couple of likely lads in 1990 who start organising warehouse parties, and get sucked into the dark side of violence and drugs. The actors do their best, and Ben Batt is strong as the appalling John the Rat, but this is weak and the ending ("Trust me – it's over") is just ridiculous.

Some say the magic number of years to wait before making a film about a youth culture is 13. Others say you just need a good script. Jane Graham asks the people who've made them
No British youth subculture worth its drugs has gone unnoticed by film-makers, but the 90s rave culture has proved notoriously difficult to pin down with any degree of artistic or box-office success. There was much to enjoy in 1999's Human Traffic, Justin Kerrigan's portrayal of a bunch of clubbers going through the highs and comedowns of an E-enhanced night out in early-90s Cardiff. Yet Kerrigan's vision, though it noted the melancholy in the air, offered little in the way of thoughtful analysis of the scene and its legacy.
It seemed likely that might be down to the haste with which Kerrigan tackled his subject; released during the same decade it was evoking, there simply...

1996: Number 30 in our series of the 50 key events in the history of dance music
Being live, collective and usually drug-enhanced, the "rave" experience has never been easy to replicate on film. But wherever there's a ramshackle youth movement, there's a clueless cash-in and, as with 60s psychedelia, Hollywood got it entertainingly wrong more often than it got it right (two words: Matrix Reloaded). Two exceptions were Doug Liman's Go (featuring Katie Holmes, Sarah Polley and Scott Wolf), which had fun with the La warehouse party scene, and Blade, whose great bloody opening (to the Pump Panel Reconstruction Mix of New Order's Confusion, trackspotters) was the last word in clubbing exclusivity. For once, the Brits knew best.
Danny Boyle's Trainspotting was ostensibly the first rave generation film, in attitude at least, though apart from Underworld's Born Slippy, the soundtrack was pretty rock-based. Instead, prime contender for...

I Know You Know
Stars: Robert Caryle, Arron Fuller, David Bradley | Written and Directed by Justin Kerrigan
The press release for I Know You Know describes the film as both a ‘touching coming of age movie’ and a ‘British father and son thriller’. From the cover art on the DVD, which depicts a furious Robert Carlyle brandishing a gun and newcomer Aaron Fuller running frantically, you might expect to find a ‘gritty’ action adventure inside. In truth, I Know You Know does not fit neatly into any genre in particular and carves its own niche.
In late 80s Cardiff, Charlie (Carlyle) and his son Jamie (Fuller) are on the run. Charlie is undercover, on a secret mission that revolves around the presumably nefarious activities of new satellite television company. Whilst Charlie goes about his top secret business, Jamie spends time at his Uncle Ernie’s house and enrols at a new school,...

Robert Carlyle stars in the long-awaited new film from Human Traffic director Justin Kerrigan. Mark checks out I Know You Know...
Nine years after writer-director Justin Kerrigan's award-winning feature debut, Human Traffic, he's returned with a much more gentle and personal effort in I Know You Know. Where Human Traffic brought the rave movement to the screen with electrifying realism, this instead focuses on a semi auto-biographical portrayal of the relationship between a father and a son, in tribute to Kerrigan's own late father.
Robert Carlyle plays Charlie Callaghan, on whom the film opens as he delivers a Travis Bickle-esque assurance to his bathroom mirror that he has everything under control. Specifically, he's on a dangerous mission against telecommunications company Astro-Sat on behalf of Her Majesty's secret service. However, he also has to look after his young son, Jamie, played by Arron Fuller.

Robert Carlyle is suitably spooky but this low-budget movie by Justin Kerrigan loses its way in Cardiff, writes Philip French
This low-budget movie is Justin Kerrigan's first since his 1999 debut, Human Traffic, his lively, extremely promising tale of weekend party people in Cardiff. It takes him back to South Wales, which Robert Carlyle appears to be visiting on a secret intelligence mission with his 11-year-old son, Jamie. However, Jamie and the viewer become steadily aware that all is not as it seems. Dad is in fact a seriously disturbed man for reasons not entirely unconnected with the condition of Wales in the 1980s. The film is apparently based on the director's experiences of his father and the relationship between father and son is well handled. Carlyle gives another frighteningly spooky performance, but as the film begins to explain itself it rather loses its initial grip.

I Am Love (15)
(Luca Guadagnino, 2009, It) Tilda Swinton, Pippo Delbono, Flavio Parenti. 119 mins
The result of a seven-year collaboration between its star and director, I Am Love is an extraordinary fusion of tradition and modernity that's a good deal more original than it might seem at first glance. Calling to mind (although not exclusively modelled on) Luchino Visconti's 1963 Italian classic The Leopard, with a dash of Barbara Stanwyck's immortal Stella Dallas for good measure, this is a powerful and stylish dynastic melodrama that works on many levels. On the surface, Luca Guadagnino's bold, aggressively contemporary direction attacks an age-old story from all angles, zooming, tracking and tilting as John Adams's affecting symphonic score booms. But at the centre of this storm, Swinton gives a superb, sympathetic performance as Emma, the Russian wife of a Milanese textile magnate, whose reckless affair with a working-class chef sends her privileged life into turmoil.

Robert Carlyle is terrific in a new film by Human Traffic's Justin Kerrigan, writes Xan Brooks
Cardiff-based Justin Kerrigan scored a home-grown hit with the ramshackle rave comedy Human Traffic in 1999 and then went awol – a casualty, it was rumoured, of the very lifestyle he celebrated on screen. A decade later, he has blown back from the wilderness with I Know You Know, a rites-of-passage drama that amounts to a tender, twisted valentine to his late father, Frankie. Robert Carlyle plays Charlie, a self-styled special operative who darts agitatedly between the pebbledashed estates of South Wales. His adolescent son Jamie (Arron Fuller) regards Charlie as a hero and this may well be the case. But Charlie is also jittery and unstable, a kind of Welsh cousin to Big Vern, the paranoid gangster from Viz magazine. His head buzzes with conspiracy theories; his finger itches on the trigger of his gun.

Sylvie Testud is cast as Christine, a wheelchair-bound woman on a life-changing trip, in Jessica Hausner's award-winning new drama.

Berlin -- Richard Loncraine's "My One and Only," a '50s-era comedy starring Renee Zellweger and Kevin Bacon, was squeezed into the competition lineup for this year's Berlin International Film Festival, barely a week before the event kicks off.
Zellweger plays a glamorous single mom on the hunt for a rich man to foot the bill for her and her sons' lifestyle. Produced by Merv Griffith Entertainment and Ray Gun Prods., "My One and Only" will have its world premiere in Berlin. Essential Entertainment is handling international sales.
Berlin also added Lone Scherfig's Sundance favorite "An Education" with Peter Sarsgaard, Alfred Molina and Emma Thompson and Davis Guggenheim's music documentary "It Might Get Loud" for its Berlinale Special Galas, ensuring the films will get the red carpet treatment without any of the pressure of competition.
