Martin Freeman, Ashley Jensen, Jason Watkins
Martin Freeman is Mr. Maddens, a frustrated, under-achieving primary school teacher. His long time adversary Gordon Shakespeare (Jason Watkins) teaches at the posh independent school up the road. Every year the two schools are embroiled in a bitter rivalry to achieve a 5-star review from the local paper for their nativity play. Maddens’ class always comes runner up – the story of his life. Goaded by his rival’s arrogance, Maddens makes an idle boast to Shakespeare that this year, his school’s show-stopping musical has attracted the attention of his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lore (Ashley Jensen) who happens to be a big time Hollywood producer. They want to make a movie starring his kids Hollywood is coming to Coventry!
Maddens suddenly finds himself a local celebrity, at the centre of quarrelling parents, dishonest teachers, and a mayhem of over-excited children and rampaging animals. But as Coventry turns into Tinseltown, the big question remains; Will Jennifer bring Hollywood to town to make all their dreams come true?
