Hello everybody, Now then as some of you might know, I was made to go off round the country earlier on this year and do a show to loads of people. It wasn't my idea, I was made to do it by that lot what pull all the strings. I went everywhere, up north, down south and I even had to go to Scotland, but you have to do these things you see. If I'd have had my way I wouldn't have gone, I'd have stayed at home with my feet up watching Dragons Den with a box of Magnums, but it wasn't my way..So in the end what happened was, I got to this one place in Digbeth, which is in Birmingham and they've got a load of video cameras there and they say right we're gonna film this and I shrugged my shoulders and said OK. So they did and this is what you've got in your hands, the DVD of it, so have a look at it and see what you think. OK bye, From Angelos

Lost Dog poster
NR

Lost dog' is a film about Jim, who, funnily enough, is on the search for his lost dog after she ran off in the park. Or at least we think he is, he gets easily distracted and we're not 100% sure the dog even exists. So maybe it's not a film about a lost dog, maybe it's a comedy about loneliness and the desperate need for meaningful human connection.
