	Movies - Bernard and the Genie

Bernard and the Genie was a seventy minute British TV movie first shown on BBC1 in the Christmas of 1991. Written by comedy writer Richard Curtis, this comic fantasy, taking its inspiration from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, followed Alan Cumming as art dealer Bernard Bottle, who finds a magic lamp containing a genie (Josephus, played by comedian Lenny Henry). While Bernard tries to use the genie's magic to get revenge on the boss who fired him, the genie discovers a taste for modern life.

Directed by Paul Weiland, the movie featured actors such as Rowan Atkinson (as Bernard's boss) and Denis Lill, plus appearances (as themselves) by Bob Geldof, Gary Lineker and Melvyn Bragg
