This trio of commercials for Lidl made for the Northern Ireland market were shot by Michael 'Derry Girls' Lennox and they demonstrate his innate gift for delivering broad stroked comedy. In the first - and strongest - of the films, an angry man draws attention to the retailer's offerings by explaining how much he loathes the shop. It's a reasonably familiar trick but it's been delivered with the elan you'd expect of the director who has made Channel 4's hit comedy popular with audiences and award juries alike.

The other two films are more conventional as they feature Lidl devotees, but a little bit of dissent is provided by cameo appearances from the dissatisfied fellow from the first ad - which is such a neat idea that you wonder why it hasn't been done before.

Incidentally, fans of 'Derry Girls' who haven't yet caught up with the second series should be sure to do so. With Northern Ireland currently in the news because of a fear of a Brexit-fueled return to the troubles of yesteryear, it's worth reminding ourselves what it was like there in the 1990s... and having a good laugh as we do so.

This beautiful little documentary about a young man whose life was affected by knife crime was made to remind others in a similar position that they should not carry a weapon. Dean was caught and the consequent criminal record made his life really difficult. Luckily, he was put in touch with James who had been through the same situation and was able to mentor him and give his life a new purpose.

Archer's Mark directing duo Mike & Steve have delivered real emotional heft while also managing to create a really attractive-looking film. This is important as it runs counter to the normal practice of underlining a gritty storyline with a distinctive look... especially when the protagonists are black. Instead, the aesthetic here underlines the positivity, with Carl Burke's cinematography and the sound design by PIndrop's Steven Parker and Richard Lewis combining neatly to deliver a sophisticated and important message.

As a petition to revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU tops 5.5 million signatures, the prospect of a rosy Brexit seems increasingly unlikely (if, indeed, it were ever possible at all). This astute film throws the pro-Leave camp's fairytale view of Britain's future into sharp relief - mixing influencer language with stock footage to highlight the unrealistic nature of the Leave claims like the most tone-deaf travel commercial.

From the white cliffs of Dover to groups of (older) people enjoying a genteel game of boules or cricket, and even that oh so popular sport of, erM, Morris dancing, each shot mixes Middle England fantasy with the hazy glow of false nostalgia. An electronic soundtrack enhances the feeling that something isn't quite right until the beat drops… there's something oddly satisfying about seeing 'Brexit is a Shitfest' spelled out in black and white.

We never thought we'd hear an Old English Sheepdog described as a "one-tonne projectile", but that's one of the key takeaways from this French ad for Skoda. Keen to underline the importance of pet safety whilst on the road, the marque humorously imagine the difficulties associated with owning a dog the size of a camper van.

From crushing sofas to dousing its owner after a walk in the rain, it's pesky yet ultimately harmless stuff… until supers inform viewers that a regular-sized pooch without a seatbelt can turn into a furry missile.

In order to combat this malady, the brand have introduced a harness especially for dogs. The preceding canine antics make the reveal all the more disarming, as dog lovers are encouraged to save their four-legged friends from themselves.
