10 best UK TV comedy film adaptations over 30 years
In the past 30 years there has been a trend in British comedy involving attempted transitions from TV to film, all the way from Keith Lemon to The Thick Of It - very much an obvious time and money saver when no original idea is forthcoming.
Katie Doyle, The Film Magazine, 23rd September 2020Sacha Baron Cohen's rapping rude boy from Staines made his big-screen debut with this story that just about sustains its 90 minutes. Ali G is persuaded into politics by a conniving Charles Dance and then has to save PM Michael Gambon from a conspiracy, sort out world peace and ensure the future of his local community centre, where he teaches a Keep it Real class.
