The TiVo® Top Ten 18.08.11

As you might expect, the big event on everyone’s lips at Virgin Media towers this week is V Festival. It’s kicking off tomorrow, come rain or shine, and we thought we’d celebrate by taking a look at a selection of shorts that embrace the great outdoors.

So this week’s adventure filled TiVo® Top Ten is brought to you by awkward fishing trips, eager twitchers and the adventures of a lost sock. Kick off your sures, put the kettle on, and watch this lot do all the hard work.

Coasting
Two old friends rejoice in the finer offerings of the great outdoors.

Blessing
Desperate for her fiancée & her father to make a connection before the big day, a bride-to-be sends her two favourite men fishing.

The Jumper
A young boy finds a way to escape his claustrophobic life, and in a magical world he gets his first taste of freedom, love and, ultimately, sacrifice.

Festival of Bruce
It's the Greek God Zeus's Feast Day again and just like the last 1000 years nobody has shown up - apart from his annoying neighbour Richard, who quickly ends up on the wrong end of Zeus's staff.

Sock
Ever wonder where all those lost socks go? When Tom loses one of his lucky red socks his search takes him on a strange and unexpected adventure.

The Cidermakers
A gentle portrait of Frank Naish, (86), possibly the world's oldest cider maker, on his farm in Somerset, with helper Paul Chant.

Gray and Brown
This is a story about two squirrels. One thinks it's okay to be a bully and take all the pine cones for himself, including the ones from the brown squirrel's side of the tree. But does it pay to be that greedy?

Plenty more fish
