- Europe's richest greyhound race takes place at Peterborough's Fengate Stadium. However, trainers and owners will not find this six-bend contest listed in any racing calendar as it is the dramatic final scenes of the new feature film, Six Bend Trap, already being dubbed a 'cult classic', with the final scenes actually shot at Peterborough Stadium. Billed as a cross between The Full Monty and Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, the gritty drama stars former East End gangster Dave Courtney. The film's creator and writer is Mike McCarthy, whose television credits include Boys From The Blackstuff and Spender added: The film is a darkly humorous, gritty drama, but it is not a gangster film and the integrity of greyhound racing is not compromised. The film's plot centres on a ruthless, rich businessman, Gordy Metcalf, who is played by Dave Courtney, who owns the best greyhound in the country. An ex-trainer sets a trap for three young men from a poor estate in North East England, who go on to train a dog which takes on the businessman's greyhound in a match-race at the Peterborough final. And the final is run over Fengate's six bends - hence the film's title.

- Over the course of a few week's filmmaker and extreme adventurer, Paul Suggitt made himself homeless to film a documentary of what life is like living on the streets and the impact it can have on a person. From turf wars, violence between the homeless, violence towards the homeless, true stories from homeless people on how they manage to live day-to-day, and the reaction to the homeless from the public, living on the streets is very tough. Covid has reduced the footfall of the public on the streets and in town centres, so "tapping" produces little money for the homeless to buy food, and those generous members of the public who buy food for the homeless are not around like they used to be. Homeless charities are reporting record numbers of people needing help with food, clothing and accommodation, so what is it really like to live on the streets? All homeless people featured in the documentary were provided with support outside of filming to help them find accommodation and they were provided with a dedicated outreach person to liaise with the authorities on their behalf.

- The Picturehouse tells the story of The Regent Cinema in Redcar, North Yorkshire, the last remaining independent cinema in the Teesside region. Originally called 'The New Pavilion' when it opened ninety years ago, the theatre played host to a number of rising stars including the late great, Larry Grayson, whose catchphrase 'Shut that door' originated at this theatre. After its closure in the 60's, the building became the home to The Regent Cinema after it moved from its former building in Redcar High Street and until March 2018, was a thriving cinema loved by all those who visited it, including director Joe Wright. After closing for a brief time, The Regent Cinema was saved in 1990, by 20 year-old local businessman, Neil Bates, who at the time worked in the ice-cream parlour next door to the cinema. Over the next twenty-eight years, Neil, with the help of his family, refurbished the cinema, updating its seating, projection and sound systems, showing the latest blockbusters to the people of Redcar, who would queue for hours to see the latest films. During this time the cinema managed to fight off competition from three multiplexes, which opened in the Teesside area and is currently fighting a controversial decision made by the town's council to close the cinema in March 2018, citing health and safety purposes for its closure. However, weeks prior to the sudden closure, plans had been put forward for a new multiplex cinema on land close to the cinema and much of the town have protested at the closure and the multiplex proposals. This documentary tells the story of this well-loved cinema, by the people who have worked there and those who love it.
