Human Mutants

Welcome to Human Mutants – the three-part series in which scientist Armand Marie Leroi explores the sometimes weird, sometimes wonderful, and always very ordinary world of the human mutant. From conjoined twins to dwarfs, giants and hairiness, Leroi explores the extraordinary variety that the human genome can throw up. His journey takes him from the person, via all manner of scientific experiments, to the minute mutated molecule that is the cause of their condition. Forgetting the weird and wonderful for a moment, Leroi has another more serious point – we all are mutants, every last one of us. If we weren't we'd all be clones of each other, a world full of identical twins, and how weird would that be? Being a mutant is what makes me, me, and you, you. It's what makes us unique, special and different.

Femmes du Monde

As a UNESCO Artist for Peace, the traveling painter and former sailor Titouan Lamazou has been crisscrossing the globe since 2001 to meet women with unusual life stories and remarkable destinies. Hailing from diverse cultures and social backgrounds, these women from five continents share their life stories. Here, the most serious events coexist unashamedly with the most trivial memories. Dreamlike elements coexist with an often acute awareness of misfortune. At each encounter, Titouan Lamazou has painted, drawn, and photographed them, producing unique and moving portraits of women that reveal the evolution of our societies. Each film is the story of an encounter between Titouan and one of the “Women of the World.” Created from his work, video footage shot on location, interviews, and texts by Titouan, these films form original portraits where a woman’s testimony intersects with the artist’s perspective.

The Armstrongs

The Armstrongs is a British television drama/documentary series broadcast on the BBC in the UK. The Armstrongs is an access-all-areas insight into the unorthodox and sometimes ruthless business antics that are par for the course at "U-Fit", Coventry's third-biggest double glazing company. The show is narrated by actor Bill Nighy. This was the second TV outing for the Armstrongs. The first was in a one-off documentary in 2003 called "The Office Christmas Party", which showed the preparations for U-Fit's Christmas party. There is some discussion as to whether it is a true fly-on-the wall documentary, a fictional comedy with an elaborately constructed presence on the internet, or a mixture of the two. Note that U-Fit the company appears in the online Yellow Pages.
