Cricket in Movies and TV Shows

I am unaware (and so, apparently is Google, that fountain of all web knowledge), of anywhere to get good information about the sport of cricket in fictional movies and tv shows. So here is my attempt to start a discussion about it, based on my own knowledge of the subject.


MOVIES:

• 
  Lagaan -- A Bollywood classic, and a must-see for cricket fans. Lagaan was nominated for an Oscar for best foreign language movie, so it's a good way to get people unfamiliar with the sport to learn a little about it. It has a compelling story, nice music, beautiful cinematography, and over an hour of cricket! The only complaint is it's very long (3.5 hours). I enjoyed every minute, but it's hard to get some people to watch something so lengthy.
  
  
• 
  Wondrous Oblivion -- Another great movie with lots of cricket in it. This is a story about cross-cultural relationships and prejudices. It's about a Jewish boy in London around 1960. He loves cricket but is not good at it (I can relate ;-) ) until some Jamaicans move in next door and set up a cricket net. The movie focuses as much on the ethnic tensions in the neighborhood as on cricket, and it all blends together nicely.
  
  
• 
  Seducing Dr. Lewis -- Admittedly the script writers for this movie did not do much homework about the sport, but it's still a great movie. A small French-Canadian fishing town where nearly everyone is unemployed has a chance to get a factory built there. One small catch, though: they need a doctor to commit to living there for 5 years. When they are able to coerce one (Dr. Lewis, of course) to check the place out for a month, they need to convince him that it's the perfect place to stay. They find out Dr. Lewis is a cricket fan, and their efforts to convince him that they're cricket fans, too are pretty funny.

  What's New Pussycat? -- Perhaps the funnest movie of the 1960's, it stars Peter O'Toole and Peter Sellers and quite a few attractive women. The movie focuses on the romantic escapades of an Englishman in Paris, Michael James. Peter Sellers plays his crazy psychiatrist, Dr. Fassbender. There's an early scene where young Michael is padded up for cricket, and there's a quite unusual group therapy scene later on which begins with this dialogue (by Woody Allen):
  
  

  Michael James: In Britain, we have a national therapy, we call it cricket. Unlike other sports, it doesn't involve anxieties or pressures. It's leisurely and lyrical. It's the song of willow on leather.
  Dr. Fritz Fassbender: Is there any sex in it?
  Michael James: Oh, no. This is a game for gentlemen, played by gentlemen.
  Dr. Fritz Fassbender: It's sick, sick.

  Bend it Like Beckham -- Okay, this is a soccer movie, but there's a bit of cricket in it. There's a reference to Nasser Hussain and a bit of batting and bowling at the very end. The cricket is not that impressive (I have trouble believing the father really was a good player after seeing his batting technique), but it's a good movie. Personally, I like the fact that the movie references Santa Clara, as I was briefly a social member of the Santa Clara Cricket Club.
  
• 
  Master and Commander -- Good movie, but if you blink you'll miss the cricket. :-)
  There's a brief scene on the Galapagos islands where sailors play cricket.
  

TELEVISION

• 
  
  P'Tang Yang Kipperbang -- A British made-for-tv movie about a boy looking for love where his romantic efforts are accompanied by cricket commentary by John Arlott.
  I have not seen it, so I'm reluctant to comment further.
  
  
• 
  The Prisoner -- In the episode "The Girl Who Was Death", #6 plays the role of a secret agent who investigates an assassination by exploding cricket ball (the batsman was killed 1 run short of his century, sadly ;-) ). It's hard to explain without giving too much away, but it's the best episode of a legendary mind-expanding tv series.
  
  
• 
  Dr. Who - Black Orchid -- A 2-part episode of the classic BBC sci-fi series. Peter Davison's Doctor always dressed a bit like a cricketer, and in this story it results in him being invited to play in a match.
  
  
• 
  Monty Python's Flying Circus - various episodes -- The Pythons had a lot of fun at the expense of cricket. There's:
  
  
  • ---- The Batsmen of the Kalahari
    
  • ---- Episode 20, with numerous cricket references
    
  • ---- Paolo Passolini's Third Match
    
• Play For Tomorrow -- Don't know much about this one
  
  
• Outside Edge - Again, don't know about it
  

Are there any that I missed? These are the only movies and fictional tv programs I know of with cricket references. Please ad posts if you know of others.
