Videos and DVDs
British comedy drama written by and starring Tom Basden and Tim Key. Charles (Key) won the lottery and, with his winnings, bought the remote Wallis Island off the coast of Wales where he now lives alone following the death of his wife. His dream is to reunite his favourite band, McGwyer Mortimer, and so he invites both former members to the island to perform a one-off show. Although both Herb McGwyer (Basden) and Nell Mortimer (Carey Mulligan), who broke up both personally and professionally, accept his invitation, old tensions soon flare between them and things don't go exactly as Charles had planned. The cast also includes Sian Clifford, Akemnji Ndifornyen and Kerrie Thomason.
