This is a very short film with a lesbian theme, which has aired in the UK on Channel 4's "Dyke TV" late at night and is now part of the "Teaser" collection of short lesbian films available on DVD. IMDb's listed title for this feature is "The Dyke and the Pornostar" which having watched the film, is I think a name which makes little sense but is presumably how it is known internationally; the film's native and original UK title of "Double Entente" would appear to fit its understated style somewhat better.

Made in 1994, clearly on a tight budget, this film is starting in terms of its style and visuals to look somewhat dated. Although the soundtrack is good, the director chooses to have what seems to be the same track play throughout the eleven minutes of this feature. Nevertheless, despite the low-key production values, this is an entertaining and ultimately upbeat story and worth a look.

... if you're Martin Freeman, to a hardware shop. The subtle genius of "The Office", the programme for which Freeman is best known, is in a different league to "Hardware", which is a traditional sitcom with canned laughter, contrived "comedy" situations, etc.

However, "Hardware" isn't too bad - it has a better cast than most sitcoms, some funny lines and at least tries to have some original storylines... unfortunately Freeman's character is another cynical, embittered employee (as in "The Office") - it would be nice to see him do something a bit different as he is probably a very talented guy.
