To celebrate 100 episodes, here is the first instalment of a new sub-series: Film's Filmvourite Films. Finn introduces Uther to the decadent, despairing directorial work of acid-camp maestro Herbert Ross. First up is 'The Last of Sheila' (1973), Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkin's poison pen murder-mystery-of-manners to Hollywood. And then on to: 'Pennies from Heaven' (1981), Dennis Potter's brutal musical portrait of toxic masculinity. As portrayed by Steve Martin.
