The Dish (DVD) £2.99 [HMV and Play]
£2.99
Apollo 11's astronauts will walk on the moon - and the huge satellite dish outside a sheep-farming Australian town will beam it globally. But as giddy locals await the moment the world will rely on them, the dish flatlines. And its Aussie crew and by-the-book NASA supervisor from the U.S. differ on how to fix it. A comical culture clash erupts in this fact-based tale of how history's biggest televised event was almost cancelled.
Maybe not the 'Deal' of the century but it is a film you may not have heard of and will be pleasantly surprised by. Stars Sam Neil.

The Sam Neil character was actually from Yorkshire in real life, and had a broad Yorkshire accent. Removed on purpose from the story by the makers for nationalistic reasons, same sort of **** the yanks do all the time. lame. cold. I also was forced to vote hot as its a good price. Damn you Pom  |
