[Part 1] Anyone who has been to a kid's birthday party has wondered about children's entertainers. Why do they do it? Isn't it, you know, a bit weird? What must they be like in real life? Here's the film to answer those questions with a brilliant, light-footed portrait of three manic men (they are mostly men). As with all the best observational docs, the subjects reveal more about themselves than they probably meant to. There's Potty the Pirate with his ukelele and wide, desperate eyes, whose mother bemoans the fact that he's still single. Very different is Tommy Tickle, who effs and blinds and shoves a cricket box down his oversized trousers to protect himself against five-year-old boys. "I was supposed to become the landlord of a pub," he explains. "I used to catch fare evaders on the London Underground. Then I fell into this." What these characters convey is hard to pin down, but it carries a whiff of desperation, as well as anger, delusion and a nice way with balloons.

[Part 1] This fascinating documentary could perhaps be best described as a visual essay, a documentary without commentary looking at events in Sheffield on 5th September 1973. Steelworkers retire, babies are born, there are fashion shows and council meetings, crashed lorries and PCs on the beat. A vivid snapshot of Seventies Britain.

Make Me Normal meets four students at Spa School, one of Britain's largest state schools for autistic children. Filmed over several months, the teenagers reveal what it is like to grow up with a condition affecting more than 500,000 people in the UK. Moneer, 12, has a form of autism called Asperger's Syndrome. When he loses his mother to cancer, the teachers struggle to help him deal with his feelings and manage his violent behaviour. Roxanne, also 12, just wants to be a normal teenager, but her realisation that autism is for life is extremely painful. Roy, 18, is trying to make sense of the world during his last year at school, but what he really wants is a girlfriend. And Esther, also 18, has a special gift for explaining the autistic world.
