yes folks, this big screen spin off is (intentionally?) hilarious. for a good evening chuckle over a few cans and a quiet night in; do yourself a favor and check this out. barry foster with a pathetic yank accent and the late, sadly missed ian bannen as an intoxicated m.p. are also really funny in supporting roles.
