For all those that were unable to catch the BBC 4 comedy drama last night about a Welsh family’s Christmases throughtout the 80′s, you can now download it from our downloads section of the site.

Ruth Jones plays a mum so houseproud she stacks her towels in order, measures sliced carrots and washes the soap. Back then her OCD was better known as housekeeping.

Michael Sheen narrates as her now grown-up son, Owen. He looks back at three Christmases, when his mum fussed, his dad vegged out on the sofa, his competitive uncle Huw bragged about his latest success, and his other uncle, Gorwel, lived up to a waste-of-space reputation.

NOTE: Please be warned this is a rather large file and may take a while to download.

As mentioned previously by Michael Sheen in his recent 35mm interview, he has now finished filming ‘Beautiful Boy’.  Variety are now reporting the production of the film, also starring Maria Bello and directed by Shawn Ku,  has now completed.

There is still no further news at present as to a release date other than 2010.

Bello and Sheen play a married couple on the verge of separation when they are hit with the news their 18-year-old son committed a mass shooting at his college, before taking his own life.

Ruth Jones, from BBC1′s Gavid & Stacey appears in this charming comedy about a child’s Christmases during the 1980′s.

She plays a mum so house proud she stacks her towels in order, measures sliced carrots and washes the soap. Back then her OCD was better known as housekeeping.

Michael Sheen narrates as her now grown-up son, Owen. He looks back at three Christmases, when his mum fussed, his dad vegged out on the sofa, his competitive uncle Huw bragged about his latest success, and his other uncle, Gorwel, lived up to a waste-of-space reputation.

For anyone who grew up in the 80s, it’s a nostalgic reminder, especially when Huw gives Maurice a state-of-the-art Sinclair ZX Spectrum then spends the day trying to load a game from temperamental and nerve-shredding shrieking tapes.

You can catch this on BBC4 tonight at 10pm.

Disney have released a new trailer for Alice In Wonderland which has now been added to the Video Gallery.  It features many of the character including Michael Sheen’s White Rabbit, however we dont hear him speak… just faint!

For those off to see Avatar this weekend, Alice in Wonderland is one of the trailers rumored to be attached to this film, but you can watch it here and now.

Please click the thumbnail below.

The Internet Movie DataBase has listed their top 100 stars in the Road to the Globes.  Michael features at #45. While he hasn’t done as well as his Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (positions #1 and #2 respectively) it is a vast improvement on last year as he didnt quite make the list.

Well done Michael for reaching IMDB’s top 100.

You can view the whole list as well as last years here.
