Soldier, spy, lawyer, politician - Airey Neave was assassinated in the House of Commons car park in 1979. The murder was claimed by the breakaway Irish Republican group the INLA. His killers have never been identified. Patrick Bishop examines the life, the heroic war achievements, and the death of one of Britain's most remarkable 20th-century figures. It answers the question of who killed him and why their identities have been hidden for so long.

The Patron Saint of Plumbing is not answering Nino Speranza's prayers.

Without expensive repairs to the pipes, the water board will cut off Speranza's crumbling Italian village. All 212 inhabitants will be forced to leave.

In a desperate bid to find the money to save his hometown, he starts a rumour that Italian heart-throb Dante Rinaldi is coming to town to film his next movie.

Soon, the place is teeming with fans and everyone wants to be involved: Speranza's assistant has a screenplay and the butcher will invest - if Speranza can find roles for each of his fifteen enormous sons. Even the priest is on board.

It seems the only way to give their beloved town a second chance is to actually make a movie. What could possibly go wrong?
