St Trinian's (12)

Apr 12 2008 By Graham Young

FORMER Doctors' star Jodie Whittaker plays sassy receptionist Beverly in this energetic update of the 1950s and 60s movies which starred Alastair Sim as headmistress Miss Fritton. Girls still just wanna have fun, but today they're likely to be making 100 per cent proof vodka in the biology lab or running a (tame) phone sex line and Rupert Everett is now the toothy headmistress with a doctrine of self-empowerment. As daft and insubstantial as Spice World a decade ago, this is one for teenagers only. Also available to buy for £19.99 (Blu-ray £24.99).

Contemplating the effect of losing his wife, author Andrew Wyke (now played by Caine stepping into Laurence Olivier's role) offers his younger love rival a dodgy diamond deal. Read
