With unprecedented access to a top athlete, the film tracks all the elements that make up McCoy's life. We see him in action at racecourses across the UK and Ireland. We are with him at the Cheltenham Festival and Aintree. We see him struggling with injury at home, setting himself new targets and grappling with the decision whether to retire or not. We track the successful early part of the season, when AP harbours the outrageous idea of riding 300 winners in a season. We see the shattering effect of injury on body and psyche. We witness the torment of deciding whether this is to be his last season, and we are there as he goes through the public agony of playing out his retirement in public. And then it's no more. Our cast is the team around him; the billionaire owner, JP McManus, the trainers, the fellow jockeys that make up that unique band of brothers, and above all, his wife Chanelle, who has lived through everything at his side. This is far from just being a story about racing, although there will certainly never be another AP McCoy. It is about universal themes, recognisable to the widest audience; relationships, decisions, sacrifices.

At the height of his fame, not only did he captain his country to victory at the 1966 World Cup, but alongside icons such as The Rolling Stones, renowned photographer David Bailey and Sir Michael Caine, he helped spread the influence of British culture across the globe. From huge success on the field for both his country and his beloved West Ham United, to personal tragedies away from football – including overcoming a cancer at aged just 24 - Bobby tells in intricate detail just how this legend became a global sporting hero. A man full of contradictions, he was renowned for his love of a drink and a party, yet his stoicism, courage and single-minded approach to both his life, and his football, was second to none. Bobby will feature exclusive interviews with family members who knew him best, plus icons including Pele, Wayne Rooney, Roy Hodgson, Paul Gascoigne, Gordon Banks, Sir Geoff Hurst, with Russell Brand, Ray Winstone and more.

Living on the edge of the Heath is American widow, Emily Walters (Diane Keaton), who can’t quite focus on the things that need attention, like her lovely old apartment, her finances and even her son. Despite encouragement from her close friend Fiona, she doesn’t want to admit that she’s drifting through life without much thought to her future. One day while looking out across the Heath from her attic window, Emily spies a ramshackle hut, which appears to be inhabited by an unkempt man. She witnesses him being attacked by a group of professional thugs. Shocked, she calls the police and watches, through her binoculars, as help arrives. The next day she ventures into the woods in search of the man. Donald Horner (Brendan Gleeson) has lived quietly and harmoniously on the edge of the Heath for 17 years but now his lifestyle is under threat - his home is the target of property developers who’ve started using heavy-handed tactics to remove him. When Emily introduces herself, he is naturally suspicious and politely thanks her but rebuffs her attention. Despite his gruff exterior, there is something gentle and alluring about Donald and when Emily discovers that Fiona is leading a community initiative in support of the developers, she bravely steps up to take Donald’s side in the escalating battle, determined to defend the emotional and physical livelihood of this quiet but unusual man - who has grown to trust her and who - despite his situation, just might be the man to sweep her off her feet. Inspired by a true story, Hampstead is a charming and funny life-affirming tale about how love can be found in the most unexpected places and proves once and for all that age is no barrier to second chances.

EFM 2016: UK Films for Sale 12 Monstrous Love TParkland Pictures Genre: True Story John Cairns +44 7872 627 911 Director: Waris Hussein [email protected] Status: Development Market Office: UK Film Centre MGB 38 Home Office tel: +44 20 3542 1425 Synopsis: In 1972 the marriage of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor was falling apart amid the pressures of success, celebrity and addiction. With exquisite dramatic irony, they chose this moment to become co-stars in a feature-length drama entitled 'Divorce His, Divorce Hers'. Monstrous Love is the story of that production, told by its hapless director. Waris Hussein, a suave but inexperienced Anglo-Indian TV director, has a glamorous mother, a beautiful family flat in London and a neurotic boyfriend – the Burton/Taylor job promises him respite from his complicated life as well as the chance to work with two of his childhood idols. But the reality proves very different, with the powerful leads battling one another at the helm. Waris seeks refuge in an affair with a handsome young German doctor who brings him perspective from the world beyond the insular movie industry. These encounters with harsh truths, both professional and romantic, form a rite of passage for the young director. Hilariously funny and heartbreakingly poignant, Monstrous Love is a sensitive and nuanced portrayal of Burton and Taylor as stars, lovers and people. As an autobiography, it tells the warm and compelling narrative of its protagonist's development from idealism to maturity and offers a brilliantly observed depiction of the movie industry, with all its foibles. In presenting his story Hussein will recreate all the chic opulence of early 1970s style, with a muted palette and gorgeous cinematography.
