Death, divorce and moving house are the big three in the Premier League of Stress To see why changing abode is right up there, David Hill and Mika Kallwass's debut film for Short Stories (8pm C4) jumps into the lorry with Denny & Robert's Removals from Peckham. Roger and Matthew, the removal men, are helping Edna move to a smaller house across the road. She has been forced to sell her old, larger home after the collapse of her husband's business and the marriage. The film offers some touching moments as Edna leaves her beloved house. But it also serves to confirm some preconceptions about removal men. They engage in weighty debate over whether Matthew will be able to sink a pint in three seconds at the pub that night. (Without, 1 hope, spoiling things for you, I can reveal he only manages it in five seconds.) And, after humping a monster cupboard down a narrow staircase, they insist on an "official fag break".
