British writer Guy Ritchie made his feature directorial debut with this crime-caper comedy-drama set in London's East End and heavy on the Cockney dialogue (with one scene in subtitled Cockney rhyming slang). A big-bucks scheme goes awry: Cardsharp Eddy (Nick Moran) and pals Bacon (Jason Statham), Tom (Jason Flemyng), and Soap (Dexter Fletcher) scuffle to pile up enough money to put Eddy at the card table opposite gangland porn lord Hatchet Harry (P.H. Moriarty). Unfortunately, the whole plan backfires, leaving Eddy owing Harry a huge sum, payable within the week. In truth, Harry hopes to acquire the bar run by his rival, J.D. (Sting), who is Eddy's father. To raise the cash, Eddy sets out to steal from a marijuana business run by Winston (Steven Mackintosh), but the inevitable gunplay doesn't make for an easy heist. World premiere at the 1998 Edinburgh Film Festival (Focus on British Cinema).

Four London working class stiffs pool their money to put one in a high stakes card game, but things go wrong and they end up owing half a million pounds and having one week to come up with the cash.

Eddy, un joueur invétéré, s'apprête à participer à la plus grosse partie de cartes de sa vie avec un enjeu de cent mille livres, somme qu'il a durement amassée avec ses trois acolytes, Tom, Baco et Soap. Eddy est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs joueurs du circuit, mais la partie s'avère être un coup monté à l'issue duquel il doit cinq cent mille livres à son adversaire Hatchet Harry. Ce dernier lui donne une semaine pour réunir cette somme, sinon il aura les doigts coupés. Seul JD, le père d'Eddy, pourrait annuler la dette en cédant son bar à son vieux rival, Harry.

In this 2003 BBC4 programme Francine Stock does a quick recap of Noam Chomsky’s career as a pre-eminent figure in the field of linguistics and outspoken controversial political activist. But the main interview explores his critiques of western imperialist & corporate power and how he views it as being maintained through the media as well as advocating the use of popular world opinion as a potent counterforce in opposing the powerful elites and their servants. Not as amusing as his demolition of Andrew Marr but an informative interview none the less.

Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman were the producers who came, SAW and conquered the UK charts in the 1980s, spinning the music scene right round like a record with their instantly recognisable brand of disco floor-filling pop hits.
