Golden Years Hits Cinemas

Nick has co-written and produced his first movie Golden Years, with an all star British cast that lured Born Free actress Virginia McKenna out of retirement.

“Fate, the pensions crisis and a steadfast refusal to accept the injustice of old age have contrived to force law abiding, retired couple, Arthur and Martha Goode into a life of crime. Refusing to take the loss of their pensions lying down and to fade away into their declining years, Arthur and Martha decide to fight back. They decide to take back what was theirs in the first place. They decide to start robbing banks.”

Starring Bernard Hill, Virginia McKenna, Simon Callow, Sue Johnston, Phil Davies, Alun Armstrong, Una Stubbs and Brad Moore. In cinemas from April 29th.

 

Princes William and Harry Give SOS a ‘Real Boost’

Joined the appeal: Prince William and Prince Harry join the BBC DIY SOS team

TV show DIY SOS is transforming derelict houses into little palaces…so helpers don’t come much more handy than this regal pair.

William and Harry got their hands dirty as part of a mission to turn one street’s rundown properties into homes for ex-service personnel.

They aim to renovate eight homes and rejuvenate the front of 62 more in the city’s Newton Heath area in just two weeks to help create a new community including army veterans.

Princes William and Harry Join DIY SOS To Transform Derelict Street

Yes they can! William and Harry don workmen’s helmets with their names on as they join BBC’s DIY SOS team to transform derelict street into homes for ex-servicemen

  • Entire street in Manchester will be rejuvenated for Armed Forces veterans

  • Princes donned personalised hard hats as they arrived at the building site

  • Joined presenter Nick Knowles and the BBC’s DIY SOS team of builders

 

Dressed in jeans and workmens’ helmets, Princes William and Harry showed off their DIY skills today, helping to turn a derelict street into homes for ex-service personnel.

Fifth in line to the throne Harry, 31, still sporting his much-admired beard and wearing grey hoodie and T-shirt, rolled up his sleeves as he helped to lay a patio, while his elder brother, more formally dressed in a jumper and shirt, helped to paint a wall.

As usual there was more than a little competition between the two men. After being briefed about their tasks, William raised an eyebrow at his younger brother and said challengingly: ‘Game on.’

Princes Help Out With DIY SOS

Princes help-out with DIY SOS to help heroes

PRINCES William and Harry are a “site” for sore eyes as they build homes fit for heroes.

They wore hard hats with their names on to muck-in with telly’s DIY SOS team.

But Harry wasn’t impressed by Wills’ efforts with a paint roller and joked: “You can tell which part my brother has done – it’s not very good.”

He then daubed over his work before helping to lay paving stones in the derelict street in Manchester.

The Newton Heath homes are being transformed for exservices personnel.

Builders and volunteers have been helping out on the project while Army veterans have had the chance to learn new construction skills.

5 Star Family Reunion Teaser

Nick’s new BBC One Saturday night quiz show will air Saturday 25th July. 5 Star Family Reunion is a heart felt quiz which will see a UK family and their long-lost overseas relatives working together, to win a once-in-a-lifetime reunion in a five-star location.

Overseas, the family must answer questions to win as much time as they possibly can for the family in studio. That’s because the four in studio will individually face questions against the show’s high-tension timer in a bid to put money in the bank and bring everyone together. If they can prove themselves under pressure, then they are in for the reunion of a lifetime!

See below for the official trail for 5 Star Family Reunion.
