    • Quotes

      [Moira's wheelchair won't go over the step into Bartleby Cathedral]

      Moira: Why is this cathedral not wheelchair-accessible?

      Mildred: Accessibility wasn't really an issue in the 15th century. They didn't have you in mind when they built this place. If they had, we'd be seeing an access ramp on a tapestry.

      Moira: I'll have you know this country was built by people exactly like me.

      Mildred: What? Post-menopausal killjoys with an attitude problem? I doubt it, love. They'd have burned you as a witch. Or just for a bit of peace and quite.

    Great cast, Damp Squib!
    I do not watch many comedies especially American ones as I just don't find them funny and usually find UK comedies are more my bag but this is worse than those US shows.

    With a pretty good cast, I was quite looking forward to this but my, oh my, what a terrible script.

    Makes me long for the days of Carry On movies where humour was humour and it was not politically correct or full of diversity BS, it was just natural and funny. If this moronic entertainment is what UK comedy has come down to, then it truly is the last nail in the coffin for British humour!

    FAQ1

    • Does anyone know the song played during the film - something about 'at the end of the day'. A solo singer and acoustic guitar.
