Contrary to popular demand, Ricky Tomlinson is to return as hapless football manager Mike Bassett 13 years after the original was released. But why?
Remember that sudden confusion you felt in the pit of your stomach back in 2005 when you realised that Mike Bassett: England Manager, the immediately forgotten 2001 footballing comedy starring Ricky Tomlinson, had been deemed worthy enough to be turned into an ITV sitcom?
No, of course you don't. To remember how confused you felt back would mean that you remembered the Mike Bassett sitcom. And that would be silly. Because that would mean remembering that Mike Bassett: England Manager existed, too. And surely nobody's got the time or the inclination to commit that sort of intrinsically inconsequential fluff to memory.
So, since nobody alive likes, cares about or remembers either the Mike Bassett film or the Mike Bassett sitcom, it seems a bit strange to hear that a...

Now that Oscar-winning film-makers are making high quality sports movies, what other tales should be told on screen?
When Peter Morgan wrote Rush he didn't include any motor racing in the screenplay as he assumed that, even if the film was ever made, it would not be backed with a budget large enough to afford F1 cars. Morgan should have shown a little more faith in his creation.
Rush took over £2m on its opening weekend, climbed to the top of the UK box office charts on its second week in cinemas, and audiences have scored it 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.3 on IMDb. Even Niki Lauda approved. "When I saw it the first time, I was impressed," said the driver whose rivalry with James Hunt is captured onscreen. "It was very accurate. There were no Hollywood changes. I wish James had been here to see the movie. It would have been the best.

Actor Robert Carlyle insists he took on his latest film because he loves it so much. The Trainspotting (1996) star insists his upcoming movie, There's Only One Jimmy Grimble (2000), is his sort of film. Robert says, "This type of film is my bread and butter and I mean that in an acting sense not in a financial one. It's not for the money, its for the love of it and I need that in my life."...
