The critically acclaimed short film trilogy, written by Tim Plester and directed
by Ben Gregor, Blake's Junction 7, 'Ant Muzak' and World of Wrestling arrives on
DVD on January 21st 2008.



All three hilarious films share a common theme - the surreal colliding with the
mundane.



Imagine a Twilight World in which the colourful icons of yesteryear might find
themselves drifting through modern-day suburbia at 2am on a weekday morning.
Imagine sci-fi freedom-fighters Blake's 7 stopping off at a motorway
service-station (BLAKE'S JUNCTION 7). Imagine New Romantic popstars Adam & The
Ants browsing the aisles of a 24-hour supermarket ('ANT MUZAK'). Imagine
old-school wrestlers Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks bumping into each other on
the night-bus home (WORLD OF WRESTLING).



Quirky, heartfelt and flamboyantly deadpan, Ben Gregor and Tim Plester's trilogy
of short films have screened at film festivals worldwide and feature a host of
charming performances from the cream of British comedy; including Mackenzie
Crook (THE OFFICE), Martin Freeman (THE OFFICE), Mark Heap (GREEN WING), Kris
Marshall (MY FAMILY), Raquel Cassidy (LEAD BALLOON), Miranda Hart (HYPERDRIVE),
Patrick Baladi (THE OFFICE), Kevin Eldon (BIG TRAIN) and Johnny Vegas (IDEAL),
as well as offering tantalising cameos from former Adam & The Ants bass-player
Gary Tibbs and Blake's 7's "voice-of-the- computers" Peter Tuddenham.



Complementing the three short films, this fantastic DVD also offers a whopping
55 minutes of extras, including behind-the-scenes features on all 3 films, a
commentary on BLAKE'S JUNCTION 7 with Paul Darrow & Mark Heap, "The 2 Avons" an
exclusive interview with Paul Darrow & Mark Heap, a Mackenzie Crook interview,
and a Peter Tuddenham recording session, as well as trailers, unused footage and
a commentary on WORLD OF WRESTLING with the award-winning filmmakers Ben Gregor
& Tim Plester.
