Who is the bravest movie character of all time? It could be anyone from Rocky to Ripley to Rambo to John McClane, and that will probably make for an excellent discussion some week but right now none of these people will feature in our Top 5 Film and TV Cowards.
Dallas Buyers Club is the highly fictionalised very loosely based on a semi-true how much of it was it really though story of the life of Ron Woodruff who in July 1985 was diagnosed with HIV and given 30 days to live. The movies version of Woodruff is that of a wild and ferociously homophobic Texan loner who imports unapproved pharmaceutical grade medicines in order to extend his quality and quantity of life and in the process does the same for many others. Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto give some of their finest career performances in this extraordinary tale focusing on the scandalously abandoned during a pandemic HIV and AIDS patient community.
Peppa Pig. Peppa Pig. From the fleeting moments of peace the portly porcine bestowed upon us when captivating our children in order to give us 5 precious minutes drooling at our phones to the fact that each of us could create an effigy of the psychotic porker 200 feet tall using just discarded plastic piglet playthings, the worlds favourite non-kosher animated land-based mammal has made an impact on all of us as parents, but none more so than one of the Dads. Sidey speaks candidly and movingly about the profoundly affecting memories he has of watching this with his son.
