In this sequel, George and his wife have a young son. The wife’s family and her ex-boyfriend are still trying to get her to come back to them and leave George. They resort to hypnosis to get her back and try to forget George, so he has to work hard to get her to remember him.
Most of the original cast did not reprise their roles and it is not as funny as the first film.

This is the third adaptation of the mother-daughter body-swap comedy. This version seemed to have no big names and decided to add in uncatchy songs.

This is an odd romantic comedy about a man who is a “clapper” (being paid to be in the audience for US infomercials), who meets a girl that works at a petrol station. He causes some problems and then risks losing her.

Due to the Coronavirus, this annual exhibition has moved online and is free. It has 48 contemporary portraits, and you can move around the exhibition and click on any of the pictures to get a closer look.
It is a good way to bring art to more people and you have an opportunity to vote for your favourite picture.

This is an amusing comedy with a slightly unbelievable concept about 2 sets of female identical twins who are swapped at birth so that one sister in each pair is brought up in the wrong family.
Now in adulthood, they end up in the same hotel and have a lot of farcical near misses until they discover each other.
