Sauce, Satire and Silliness: The Story of British Comedy

Sep 8, 2007

Much like our sense of humour, British Comedy feature films have rarely travelled well. Today, Aardman with its Ealing-inspired Wallace and Gromit are probably the most popular franchise. But the title of the most successful British comedy of all-time has a new champion...step forward, Borat. Featuring original interviews with Simon Pegg, Mark Gatiss, Terry Gilliam, Nick Park and Peter Lord, Gurinder Chadha, Bill Forsyth, Norman Wisdom, Richard E Grant and many more.
