The Top 20 Things We Ever Did

#1 Global Premiere

World's biggest live film event beamed Kofi Annan and Thom Yorke to a million viewers in 63 countries.

#2 10:10

Stupid-spawned campaign inspiring everyone to cut their emissions by 10% in a year - now in 40+ countries.

#3 Stupid Show

Our daily web TV programme, live from 2009's Copenhagen climate summit, attempted to make sense of humankind's most important get together.

#4 Guinness World Record

Stupid beat Star Wars - yup, Star Wars - by premiering in 62 UK cinemas at the same time, linked by satellite.

#5 First carbon neutral country

Eco-hero the President of the Maldives announced groundbreaking policy at Stupid's UK premiere.

#6 Indie Screenings

1400 local Stupid screenings in six months = "Revolutionising film distribution since 2009".

#7 Emissions = 1%

Both the UK premiere and the production of Stupid produced 1% of the emissions you'd have thought they would.

#8 Crowd Funding

620+ ordinary people invested £450,000 to produce our Stupid film and the same again to distribute it. Biggest ever crowd-sourced pot of cash.

#9 Cinema Jalsindhi

Bedsheet + generator + long hike = Drowned Out villagers watch their first ever movie, starring themselves.

#10 Junk food law

After McLibel judge says McDonald's adverts "exploit children", the UK government bans junk food ads on kids' TV.

#11 Box Office No 1

Stupid beats Julia Roberts and Lesbian Vampire Killers to hit the top of the charts (by screen average) in its opening week.

#12 UK government joins 10:10

Cameron commits entire Government estate to 10% cut in a year. Equivalent to 200,000 cars off the road.

#13 "I used to hate the invaders"

Spanner supporters paid for 131 Iraqi refugee kids to return to school.

#14 Recycling a 747

10:10 bought a plane, as you do, and squashed it into the unfashionable fashion item of the year.

#15 Ten Docs Changed the World

McLibel one of only two UK films (the other no-less than Michael Buerk's original Ethiopia report which led to Live Aid) picked for the BFI's series.

#16 100% Rotten Tomatoes

World's biggest movie review aggregator proclaims McLibel a perfect film.

#17 "A complete rewrite of UK energy policy"

Climate Minister Ed Miliband changes coal law after Pete P threatens to give his OBE back to the Queen.

#18 Ken Loach directs McLibel drama

Britain's top gritty and realistic movie director joins Spanner's voluntary crew.

#19 Last two coats

12,000+ delegates & media bods from 193 countries argued about climate change for two weeks in Copenhagen. And the last to leave?

#20 Rescued by Boris

London's Mayor swooped up on his bike as Stupid's director Franny was being mugged by a girlgang. Impossibly unlikely but true.
