So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye...

How do you say it's over, that it's the end of the affair? Perhaps in a letter, or a telephone call. Or have a good row and storm out never to return. This quintet of short films offered various solutions to parting company with a partner - some amusing, some horrific, some plain silly.

The five films were, apparently, made to be shown separately but through a quirk of scheduling ended up lumped together in a bumper bundle of goodbyes.

In Sweetnightgoodheart, Juliet (Emma Ashfield) returned home from work - "a near fatal epileptic fit, two coronaries and a stroke; I'm knackered" - to find the table set for a romantic dinner with candles and wine. Her partner of three years, not Romeo but Pete (David Tennant) had even fixed the flush on the lavatory, a sign of true love if ever there was one.

He wanted to talk, informing her: "I want this to be the beginning of a new phase in our relationship". What he meant to say was that he wanted to dump her. The twist was that his attempts ended with him proposing marriage.

A sting in the tail is, of course, is what all good short stories - or, in this case, short films - need, and this set had them in abundance.

Unscrew dealt with the sharing of possessions as a couple (played by Douglas Henshall and Emma Fielding) split up. Some of the decisions were simple enough, a choice between the chest of drawers or the chair. But they couldn't help sparring as they divided. "At least we don't have children," he said.

"If I had children I'd have something to show for the last five years," she retorted bitterly.

She left him the bed but took the sheets, unable to imagine him sleeping between them with someone else. He should have taken the hint that she would strip him of some very personal belongings. He wanted an earring to remember her by. She wanted... let's just say, an organ similar to the one cut off by a famous Mrs Bobbit.

Stag, as the title suggested, followed the repercussions of a drunken stag night as the bridegroom woke up in bed naked, with the equally unclothed best man beside him. The former just wanted to forget their drunken night of passion, pointing out that "two grandmothers have kept themselves alive for decades for this". What a thoughtful lad.

The best man was less eager to disregard their liaison, asking not unreasonably "What if we're meant to be together?".

Humour wasn't apparent in all the tales of leaving. Dog featured al fresco sex and a dog kicked to death. Happily the final film, Dumping Elaine, returned us to comic territory with a sly story about a couple (Susan Lynch and Matthew Delamere) who met in the same cafe week after week, and whose conversation about dumping Elaine intrigues the waitresses. The happy ending rounded off this intriguing set of films nicely.
