    Prolly for one week only mind. A completely fictitious makey-uppey tale based loosely on Radio Caroline with an all-star Richard Curtis style cast in a film by Richard Curtis, so it'll be very fluffy with some romance. They had to draft a Yank in to get the budget I guess.

    Can't help wondering if there's a link between that and the title! ;)

    I've seen this opinion elsewhere, it seems that Radio Anoraks think it's just for them and have a kind of a "Well, normal people wont like it, its just for us. We'll get it!" feeling about it.

    It's a large budget British Comedy from the Oscar Nominated Writer/Director of 3 of the highest grossing British comedies of all time. After 4 weddings, Notting Hill & Love, Actually, Richard Curits simply has to pick up the phone now and say "Brit com, ensemble cast" and Hollywood will throw cash at him before he's had a chance to say "Kenny, Em and Bill".

    It stars Multi Oscar nominee Kenneth Branagh, Bafta winners Bill Nighy and Rhys Ifans, Oscar Winners Philip Seymour Hoffman & Emma Thompson, and some of the talent from Britain's better sitcoms of the last few years in Nick Frost and Chris O Dowd.

    It's not a niche movie. It wont have a problem finding an audience.
