With each season of 'The Sopranos' comes new threats. James Gandolfini's Tony Soprano may have put paid to  his mother's scheming in Season One  but, as we will see in subsequent seasons, the perilous world of the Mafia means there's always new menaces lurking in the shadows.

Their first course of business is to go for a pre-dawn swim in the sea, get chips and then head to their hotel where they blag a poolside view from their apartment. Entering the apar

At first glance, 'Scrapper' looks like your typical English kitchen sink social realist drama. However, Charlotte Regan's debut feature isn't quite what you might expect. Set on an Essex council estate, it follows Lola Campbell's 12 year old tomboy, Georgie who is secretly living on her own in a flat following the death of her mum. Only her close friend, Alin Uzun's Ali knows her circumstances. © BFI, BBC Film & DMC Film Social Services, teachers and neighbours are all under the impression that she is living with her uncle "Winston Churchill". In order to get by, Georgie steals bicycles with the help and sells them on to pay the rent and for provisions. The sudden appearance, however, of Harris Dickinson's Jason throws everything up in the air. Sporting an Eminem hairstyle, he announces he is her estranged dad and has been asked by her mum, Olivia Brady's Vicky to look after her. © BFI, BBC Film & DMC Film Georgie isn't just wary of
