The (good) doctor will see you now

The Glasgow Youth Film Festival kicked off in earnest on Thursday (11 Feb) with Scouting Book for Boys, the directorial debut of Tom Harper starring Thomas Turgoose (This is England, Somers Town). Screen Shrapnel was there, listen to find out what we thought.

From unrequited love to the love that dare not speak its name, we review A Single Man, directed by another debuting Tom – fashion genius and savior of Gucci, Tom Ford.

Also on this week’s show: we kick-off our new, awkwardly titled feature – Films the Great-Unwashed Should Have Seen but Probably Haven’t – with a contribution from the finest radio critic working in the UK (Screen Shrapnel being a close seconds, by-the-way), the inimitable Dr. Mark Kermode; and the shrapnel awards continue this week with some metaphorical statuettes winging their way to the finest male actors of the year.

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed
