Synopsis:

The 100 year-old-man who climbed the window and disappeared (15): Based on the internationally best-selling novel by Jonas Jonasson, the unlikely story of a 100-year-old man who decides it’s not too late to start over. For most people it would be the adventure of a lifetime, but Allan Karlsson’s unexpected journey is not his first. For a century he’s made the world uncertain, and now he is on the loose again.

The Nut Job (U):  In a city park, Surly the Squirrel has finally gone too far with his latest caper leading to the animal community’s winter food cache being destroyed. Now exiled, Surly and his rat buddy’s, Buddy, collective nightmare on the streets ends when they discover a nut store to raid. With no other options, she arranges a deal to help in Surly’s heist for the colony, even while Surly fully intends to betray it. However, there is more going on with the nut store being a front for bank robbers while Raccoon has his own agenda to ensure his own power.

The Inbetweeners 2 (15): Neil, Will and Simon receive an invite from Jay to join him in Australia whilst on his gap year, who promises them it’s ”the sex capital of the world”. With their lives now rather dull compared to their hedonistic school days and legendary lads holiday, it’s an offer they can’t refuse. Once again, they put growing up temporarily on-hold, and embark on a backpacking holiday of a lifetime in an awful car, inspired by Peter Andre’s ‘Mysterious Girl’. Will soon finds himself battling with the lads to do something cultural, whilst they focus their attention on drinking, girls, and annoying fellow travellers.

Earth to Echo (U): Tuck, Munch and Alex are a trio of inseparable friends whose lives are about to change. Their neighbourhood is being destroyed by a highway construction project that is forcing their families to move away. But just two days before they must part ways, the boys begin receiving a strange series of signals on their phones. Convinced something bigger is going on, they team up with another school friend, Emma, and set out to look for the source of their phone signals. What they discover is something beyond their wildest imaginations: a small alien who has become stranded on Earth.

The 100 Foot Journey (PG): The family of talented cook, Hassan Kadam, has a life filled with both culinary delights and profound loss. Drifting through Europe after fleeing political violence in India that killed the family restaurant business and their mother, the Kadams arrive in France. Once there, a chance auto accident and the kindness of a young woman, Marguerite, in the village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val inspires Papa Kadam to set up a Indian restaurant there. Unfortunately, this puts the Kadams in direct competition with the snobbish Madame Mallory’s acclaimed haute cuisine establishment across the street where Marguerite also works as a sous-chef. The resulting rivalry eventually escalates in personal intensity until it goes too far.

Planes 2: Fire and Rescue (PG): When world-famous air racer Dusty learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he must shift gears and is launched into the world of aerial firefighting. Dusty joins forces with veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his team, a bunch of all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers. Together, the fearless team battles a massive wildfire, and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero.

  • Melksham woman cycles length of Britain in memory of grandma

A Melksham woman has completed a 1,000-mile solo cycle across Britain in memory of her grandma Cheryl Decarteret who died following a collision in the town centre last year.

Lilly Charman, 21, set off from John O’Groats on Thursday 11th June and reached Land’s End on Friday 10th July, where she was welcomed by family.

She described the experience as ‘incredible’ and ‘freeing’ and has raised nearly £1,000 for Southmead Hospital.

During the journey, Lilly battled extreme heat, heavy rain, food poisoning and a broken bike, as well as being attacked by birds which damaged her tent and belongings.

  • Wiltshire Council to start work on new Local Plan

Wiltshire Council’s Cabinet has agreed to begin work on a new Local Plan for the county, setting out how and where development will take place across the county in the years ahead. 

This follows last month’s decision to withdraw the previous Local Plan from examination after concerns were raised by planning inspectors.

Those concerns included issues around housing land supply, reliance on proposed new settlements and how development would align with areas of demand.

The withdrawal of the plan prompted concerns that, without an up-to-date Local Plan in place, developers may be more likely to bring forward proposals on unallocated sites and that appeals against refused applications could be harder for the council to defend.

  • Melksham canoeist wins gold for Great Britain

A freestyle canoeist from Melksham has won gold for Great Britain at the Freestyle Canoe World Cup in France.

Alex Edwards claimed the men’s squirt boat title in Millau last month.

He finished ahead of Germany’s Finn Kroessig and Mike Lochny to take first place on the podium.

Coach Dee Paterson said, “It is a truly fantastic achievement at world level competition.

“Alex went for a high scoring final ride with fast and relentless technical moves, which Alex is internationally famous for. However, it didn’t go as planned but his second round ride scoring 2,170 points meant he achieved a gold medal.”
