Every four seconds, someone buys a Mills & Boon novel. Guilty Pleasures crosses continents to probe this fantasy world of seductive mistresses and available billionaires: from middle-aged author Roger (pen-name 'Gill Sanderson') to feisty Indian princess Shumita (off to re-ignite an old flame) and hunky American model Stephen (dust jacket cover star but unlucky in love). Britdocs' best pitch of 2009, this is an affectionate, uplifting and often laugh-out-loud celebration of the search for true love.

+ Mother of Many

Dir Emma Lazenby, UK 2009, 6min

This charming BAFTA-winning short follows the life and daily dedication of a midwife, combining beautiful paint-on-glass and hand-drawn animation with real recordings of foetal heartbeats.
