A Dog's Purpose
Based on W. Bruce Cameron's bestselling book "A Dog's Purpose", this film is about a devoted dog who through many lives, finds the meaning of his own existence, teaching his humans to love and laugh.
If you're an animal lover this is the film for you. Heartwarming, insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny, "A Dog's Purpose" is not only the emotional and hilarious story of a dog's many lives, but also a dog's-eye commentary on human relationships and the unbreakable bonds between man and man's best friend. This moving and beautifully crafted story teaches us that love never dies, and that every creature on earth is born with a purpose.

Tom Jones
by Tony Scarth
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
Tony is A Boy from Nowhere… Unique, exciting and undeniably accurate - His show is the closest thing you will get to seeing Tiger Tom the Twisting Vocalist and hear growl forth his larynx of steel.
It all started back in March 2002 when Tony danced through those famous smoke screened doors in front of millions of viewers and announced tonight Mathew, I am going to be… Tom Jones!!!!
Appearing on ITV's cult series Starts in their Eyes was undoubtedly the pinnacle of Tony's career - after all tens of thousands applied each year and only a handful were picked to appear on the TV show.
