Last year, As If celebrated 10 years since it came to an end on Channel 4. Digital Spy looks back on the cult series, speaking to several of the main cast about their memories of the show.
As If: 10 year retrospective of the cult Channel 4 teen drama - part 1
The sad fact with As If, is that it is almost impossible to track down today. The show has never been released on DVD, due to a copyright issue with the music. Without the music, it simply wouldn't be As If.
"Given the choice between no music so we can release the DVD, I'd choose the music," said Caroline Chikezie (Sasha). "They used to say the music was the seventh cast member, it was so important. It just took it to a whole new level. I guess it's worth not having a DVD release just to keep the music."

Exclusive: CAA has signed Chiwetel Ejiofor, shortly after the British actor starred as the principal character in the Steve McQueen-directed Twelve Years A Slave, opposite Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt. Ejiofor, for my money one of the best actors around, has credits that include Dirty Pretty Things, Love Actually, Children Of Men, American Gangster, Salt and Inside Man. His next acting turn comes in the BBC production of the Stephen Poliakoff-directed Dancing On The Edge. He also wrote and directed the short film Slapper and is adapting the William Kamkwamba book The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind. With the move, he ends a long run at ICM Partners. Ejiofor continues to be repped in the U.K. by Alex Irwin of Markham, Froggatt and Irwin and Jenne Casarotto of Casarotto, Ramsay & Associates, and attorney Robert Wallerstein.

There's nothing like a good debate and discussion after watching a movie. And there are few things quite like Rich Pickings, too. Nick explains more...
One of the things I love most about film is that it's not always about film. That may sound a bit odd, but hear me out.
How many times have you watched something that has really made you think? You might not even realise it, but I bet it's happened a few times. The post-film discussions that veer off into many tangents, each related but separate from its original context. It could be as simple as "Wouldn't it be cool to have that super-power?" to as complex as "How does this change my point of view on something?"
Coupled to this is the fact that film is increasingly part of a larger event, partnered with other entertainments and activities. A prime example here is the success of Secret Cinema,...
