Jim Davidson wins Celebrity Big Brother - and Lee Ryan loses it
This year's Celebrity Big Brother prompted a lot of soul searching as Jim Davidson ended up taking the crown - after striking up a bromance with Dappy. But it wasn't actually this winning moment that made January's CBB so captivating - instead, it was Lee Ryan's inability to keep it in his pants (and Casey Batchelor's mum shrieking: "He's mugging you off,...

The award winning film 'Helen' directed and written by Irish film makers Joe Lawlor and Christine Molloy opens in the Ifi on Friday 1st May.

The series featured 'Who Killed Brown Owl', winner of the Best British Short Film Award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2004. 'Helen', their first feature, evolved out of this series.
