Welcome to What's On – the entertainment programme that tells you what 's going on in your a rea. Let's start with the film festival that's on next Saturday and Sunday. You can buy weekend tickets in advance at the box office, or you can pay for each film individually. If you want to see two or more films though, paying for each film separately is expensive. There are no one-day tickets, I'm afraid. The festival is organized by a local film club and its theme is 'animals in film '. There will be twelve films shown in total. I don't have a list of the final twelve at the moment and unfortunately the website is experiencing technical problems, but I'm expecting the information to be emailed to me any minute, so please stay with the programme.

One film they are definitely showing is the 1994 version of The Jungle Book.

He's still in the jungle with his animal friends, but now he's grown up and when an Englishwoman visits on safari, they fall in love. It 's not a film that will please everyone, especially big fans of the original, but personally, I like the story just as much and the special effects are brilliant.

Try not to miss the 1986 version of The Fly, which has the same idea as the original made in 1958. Seth Brundle, played as you probably know by Jeff Goldblum, is a gifted but rather mad scientist, who is accidentally turned into a giant fly during an experiment. This is quite a scary horror film, so will be on later than the others.

One more film to mention is Wolves: A Legend Returns to Yellowstone. This is a documentary about the life of wolves in Yellowstone Nation al Park in America. The film is narrated by Matthew Fox, and it features several important wolf expert s and conservationists. The fantastic shots of the wolves are taken from helicopters as well as fixed cameras on the ground - these are unmanned, so they can get much better shots than a film crew at close range would be able to get. This is a wonderful fi lm th at I can't recommend highly enough. Now let 's move on to ...
