Lee Kemp is a disabled bloke who was recently voted one of the Sexiest Men in Yorkshire, and now he's planning to put together the UK's first disabled strip group - called The Crippendales, of course.

You can see a documentary about Lee as oart of Disability As You've Never Seen It Before, a day of film and disability presentations on Thursday 29 March at The Courtyard in Hereford. It's part of the - known as "Britain's biggest little film festival" - which runs in various rural venues from Friday 23 March to Sunday 1 April.

Other events during the day include an open discussion on sexuality and disability in film, which features Claire Fisher, director of the 91Èȱ¬ THREE series Desirability, and national disabled artist Tanya Raabe, plus Paul Darke, a leading academic on disability and film, embarks on a wander through some cinematic wonders on disability, entitled From Freak to Normalised. The day concludes with a screening of Terry Gilliam's 1981 movie Time Bandits, featuring many of the Monty Python regulars and the only film ever made to feature six small actors as the principal leads.
