Comedy for Civilians!
Four years fighting Rommel in the desert is a piece of cake compared to their return to civilian life!Griff Rhys Jones (Porterhouse Blue, Not the Nine O'Clock News) and Martin Clunes (Saving Grace, Shakespeare in Love) star in this hit comedy drama as two English war buddies determined to hang on to their battlefield camaraderie- and the dream of show business they concocted in the trenches.
The war was sometimes terrifying, sometimes boring, but they got through it by entertaining their buddies with a homemade stage routine of songs, jokes and banter.Now, travel papers in hand and resplendent in their ill fitting "demob" suits, they part ways and return home to their old lives.
However, the lure of the footlights is too much to resist and invites them to resurrect their old stage act at a local nightclub.When the act becomes a surprise hit, their lives head off in a dramatic new direction.
