  Russell Brand Live

  He's the bad boy of comedy who won us over with his stand up, his ridiculously amusing autobiography and roles in such films as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the upcoming Get Him to the Greek.

• Watch

  Love, Lust & Lies

  The fifth film in the documentary series about the lives, hopes and dreams of three lively, working class Adelaide girls since they were fourteen in 1976. Directed by award winning director Gillian Armstrong (Charlotte Gray, Little Women, Oscar & Lucinda).

  David Stratton says, "The lives that unfold, though outwardly unexceptional, are filled with drama, humour, love, loss and achievement. Just living, the film reminds us, is an adventure".
