Taking a break from Alan Partridge, Trips with Rob Brydon and Nights At The Museum, Steve Coogan has just signed up for a period piece. He'll play the 18th century lawyer James Boswell in an adaptation of Patrick Edgeworth's play Boswell For The Defence.

BMX Bandits
Directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith

The film has grown to become a considerable cult hit in many circles and with reason. Bandits is an irresistible time capsule, showing what the sport, and bikes, were once like. These were the days when you could actually sit on a BMX bike seat and didn’t need to rely on your feet to break. And while the Kuwahara was made famous thanks to Spielberg’s ’84 masterpiece, Bandits featured a blue Mongoose,...
