  • The Radio Verulam Film Guide: Friday 5th May 2017
    Simon - who is the current owner of Garth, the world's largest teacup pig - was in the studio spreading his unique brand of disjointed and confusing film criticism. Danny, Sam and Chris were also present, but as Chris has had a very long week and was very tired, if Simon did anything particularly wacky, it probably went unnoticed. Chris promises to get some sleep and be more aware of Simon's antics next time. Ok, that was a lie (but more true than most weeks), but Simon was in the studio to talk about the UK box office, new releases in the cinema, and his pick of films on TV for the coming week.
