They're demolishing the Archers - and that's just the start of the nightmare! Might Gaz go into the red at the sperm bank? Would Jonny really swap Corinthian McVitie for a t-shirt? Could Louise be Princess Diana's and Nelson Mandela's love child? Would pork scratchings really beat mini cheddars in the World Cup final of bar snacks? The arrival of Corinthian McVitie seems to have had little effect on the lives of the gang. Jonny decides to be a farmer - well at least come home with farm produce; Janet tries elves and sex; Gaz sacks himself; Donna becomes a bloke and Louise discovers her real father is gay - and fancies Jonny. It's not all babies and tantric sex. While Gaz and Jonny debate who is Corinthian's real father, Janet and Donna are battling over who gets the bar manager's job in the Archers. And as the pub gets closer to demolition, all five are drawn back for a final session - a real night to remember. - Director:

Torn between two lovers - one of them is her best friend's bloke and one of them is dead! • Does a Knightrider snow-globe necessarily count as "tacky crap"?
- Is a tattoo of Kris Akabusi a suitable memorial for a dead husband?
- Under what circumstances can an erection be classified asan emergency?
- Is there really something Gaz wants more than to be filmed having sex with Donna - in a Mondeo - with a sheep in the back seat?
The Archer has been re-furbished - there's now a picture of John Barrowman behind the bar - but little else has changed for the Runcorn Five. Oh, except Donna is now working behind the bar, Louise is pregnant and, as Jonny has been eaten by a shark in Hawaii, Gaz is now forced to share his masturbation fantasies with Munch... Jonny's death affects them all in different ways: Janet decides she must get through the five stages of grief quicker than Darren Day on a stage full of blondes, Louise finds the answer to her accommodation problems and Gaz comes over all paternal. And, as Donna gets a career and Louise gets motherhood, will Janet and Gaz finally get each other..?- Director:

Niagara Motel (2005)Мотель Ніагара
'Niagara Motel' tells the story of eight people, each struggling with a personal crisis, who all cross paths at the honeymoon town of Niagara Falls.

Among the ensemble cast is Anna Friel who stars as Denise, a recovering drug addict desperately trying to regain custody of her child from social services. Michael, played by Kevin Pollak, is a small-time hustler who tries to make a career out of making adult porn movies. Craig Ferguson is the motel's drunken caretaker who lives life on the edge. - Director:
