Tis May, Tis May, the glorious Month of May
…and what a month it is promising to be…
On Monday, 11th May, we commence principal photography on THE INFIDEL, slingshot’s 5th film and a glorious funny collaboration with Omid Djalili and David Baddiel. The film represents a number of firsts – Omid’s first lead, David’s first feature, Uzma Hasan’s first film as producer and the first time anyone has ever made a comedy about a fundamentalist Muslim cleric. More info is leaking across the interweb.
On Friday, 15th May, oh calloh callay, our dearly treasured second movie FRENCH FILM finally hits selected cinemas across the UK. We launched it last night at BAFTA to a wonderfully receptive audience, and are now crossing all our bits that reviewers will be as enthusiastic as audiences have been so far. In a joyous co-incidence of timing, Ash Ditta, the film’s writer became a father for the first time last night, launching both his movie and baby Nancy into the world. Find out where you can see FRENCH FILM here (Nancy is being kept under wraps for a bit longer)
and finally, on Friday 22nd May, screens across the nation TORMENTED comes out.
Somewhere amidst that we have to pop to Cannes for a few days…. so yes, its May, its glorious, every lad will be a cad and blog service will resume in June… xx

Yes, and Tormented is on Rotten Tomatoes at a much more than respectable 77%, which for a horror movie is about like winning the Academy Award. Please tell me I am going to get to see this movie in the United States!

Dear Arvind,
It’s your Colonic Irrigation doctor here. Just letting you know you’re due for a “clean up” this month. Don’t forget to make an appointment or you’ll get awfully constipated like last month and it’ll be a ‘messy’ appointment….again! I still haven’t got the stains out of my overalls from last month and my wife wouldn’t come near me for a week because of the smell!
Anyway, I hope you are keeping well and sorry to contact you via your Blog, it’s just I know how much time you spend on here and what a busy man you are so I thought it was the best means to get your attention!
Best,
Dr. Patel

Dear Dr. Patel
Thank you for your close attention. Rumours of the NHS’ decline are clearly not taking into account your dedication to personal service.
Rest assured, as soon as I feel a build up, I will be directing it towards you.
best, A

Dear Arvind,
So good to hear from you and rest assured offering a personal service is at the forefront of my beliefs. It is my strong belief that if clients are willing to allow me personal access to their bowels, they deserve more than a bum deal. I know your penchant for anal activities so it is very important we keep you ‘clean’ to avoid embarrassing situations with those intimately close to you (like the one you mentioned to me before. Poor chap you were with!).
I look forward to seeing you, and your bowels, again soon.
Best,
Dr. Patel
