43: Director Mike Figgis revisits Leaving Las Vegas
15/05/2026 | 38 mins.
In a very special episode of STUDIOCANAL Presents, regular host Simon Brew welcomes writer/director Mike Figgis, to look back on 30 years of Oscar-winning drama Leaving Las Vegas.
As the film arrives on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for the first time, Mike takes us through the quality control of previous releases, plus the guerilla tactics required to make the movie in the first place. It's an incredible tale.
Plus, just time too for a little bit of news from the world of STUDIOCANAL...
42: Alice Lowe: "Edgier than an Austen", Far From The Madding Crowd, and more
15/04/2026 | 38 mins.
In a special episode of STUDIOCANAL Presents, regular host Simon Brew invites the writer, director, producer and genius Alice Lowe on for a special episode. Alice is given the keys to the STUDIOCANAL catalogue, and picks a pair of films, including the 1967 version of Far From The Madding Crowd. Why does she think it's 'edgier than an Austen?'
Alice makes another choice too, and Simon has a round-up of the latest news from STUDIOCANAL as well...
41: I Swear | Writer/director Kirk Jones looks back on an incredible journey
17/03/2026 | 44 mins.
With three BAFTAs to its name, the film I Swear has added awards acclaim to its critical and commercial success. The real-life story of John Davidson OBE was brought to the screen by writer/director Kirk Jones, and the story of how he got the film made in the first place remains extraordinary.
Reflecting on I Swear following its BAFTA success - with two awards alone for leading man Robert Aramayo - Kirk joins Simon Brew to look back on the last two years. And there's a hint of what's ahead, too...
40: The complicated genius of Peter Sellers
06/02/2026 | 31 mins.
There's a strong case for Peter Sellers being named the finest comedy film actor of all time, and in this latest episode of STUDIOCANAL Presents, he's the subject of our discussion. Regular host Simon Brew is joined by Sellers expert Gemma Ross.
They chat through films such as Carlton Brown Of The F.O. and Only Two Can Play, amongst others. And Gemma has an extra double bill for us as well...
39: Agatha Christie, and an incredible four-film run
22/12/2025 | 34 mins.
Agatha Christie's work may have been adapted for the screen many times, but she wasn't always too happy with it. That all changed with 1974's Murder On The Orient Express, which started a run of four star-studded movies through to the early 1980s. All of which are now available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for the first time.

Host Simon Brew dons his detective hat, and brings along Christie expert Dr Mark Aldridge to uncover the stories about them. And there's some fresh STUDIOCANAL news to dig into as well...
