To enter and win Brian And Charles on Blu-ray (runner up DVD), answer the following question… Q. In Brian And Charles, what is Charles? We actually tried to change as little as possible,” says Archer. “I was worried about changing too much and losing the charm of what we had in the short.” Brian & Charles is the little sci-fi comedy that triumphs with so little. It’s a cute and heartwarming tale about what it means to be human, treating hefty topics of humanity with a light air of simplicity. Think about how charming it is to have a film where a lonely inventor crafts a sentient robot and merely wants to bring joy to the world. This is an adorable little picture if you’re willing to go along for the ride.Prizes may take from days to a few months for delivery which is out of our control so please do not complain

Brian and Hazel return to the bonfire, where Brian saves Charles just in time before he catches fire. Eddie and his family chase Brian, Charles, and Hazel into town where the rest of the town gathers. The citizens confront Eddie on his thieving, and with the help of the inventions Brian made, he and Charles send Eddie and his family away.

When we did it live, we always had this idea of having a girlfriend onstage, but at the time I said I couldn’t face building another puppet monster,” says Hayward. “So Charles could come home with his new love … I’d like to see him make love to another robot.” It is clear director Jim Archer and the writers' Earl and Hayward, who play the main roles, invested seriously in the film so that you are effectively charmed and not alienated by it being utterly daft which to an extent it is. Then to top it off just to add some more charm, maybe even ladle some on, adding into the mix Hazel, sweet and socially awkward like Brian, played with some skill by Louise Brearly.

The film is neither taxing on your emotions or going to cause you to cry with laughter but making you gently smile for the majority of its runtime at the silly shenanigans framed amongst some stunning and inventive shots of remote Welsh countryside means, to be frank, it is a hard heart that sets against Brian and Charles.

But very few are 7 feet tall, look like an emotionless old man who has swallowed a washing machine whole, talk like a toddler on a Speak & Spell and enjoy eating cabbages.

Forget the sleek silicon and smooth chrome, we have a new vision of a sentient robot, and it was cobbled together with spare parts that were lying around the house. Charles — who wants you to know his full name, Charles Petrescu — is a 7ft-tall boxy mess with a mannequin head, washing-machine torso and a blue light in his eye that he can’t turn off when he goes to sleep. He may not be an ideal robot in any other way, but he’s the perfect machine for this movie.

On stage, Earl says that Charles’ character was “quite rowdy and boisterous,” and often dependent on how much Majendie had to drink when he was typing his dialog. “It was quite an adult act,” he admits. For the 2017 short, this was softened, Charles becoming more innocent and immature, and Brian treating him more like a young child or eager-to-please pet.Brian and Charles': How the Brit Comedy's (Extremely) Low-Budget, 7-Foot, Cabbage-Eating Robot Was Brought to Life".
