ORIGINAL ENGLISH SOUNDTRACK - GUARANTEED > > > > > Sandwiched between the end of Not The Nine O'clock News and the first Blackadder series comes this wonderful 1983 short from the pen of acclaimed scriptwriter Richard Curtis, who, as well as contributing material to Not The Nine O'clock News and Spitting Image, has given us Blackadder, Mr Bean, The Vicar of Dibley and the Four Weddings, Notting Hill, Love Actually and Bridget Jones blockbusters. Reading down the credits of "Dead On Time" is like reading a Who's Who of British comedy talent. As well as Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder, Mr Bean), Nigel Hawthorne (Yes Minister), Jim Broadbent (Bridget Jones) and Greta Scacchi (Heat & Dust), look out for cameos from Jo Kendall (Grange Hill), Alex Norton (Taggart), Christopher Biggins (Porridge), Leslie Ash (Men Behaving Badly), Gorden Kaye ('Allo 'Allo), Rupert Everett (St. Trinian's), Tim McInnerny (Blackadder), and Nigel Planer & Adrian Edmondson (The Young Ones, Comic Strip)... What would you do if you were given only 24 hours to live? Well, poor Bernard Fripp (Rowan Atkinson) is given just 30 minutes by his doctor (Nigel Hawthorne). He embarks on a frenetic and rather Bean-like half hour, trying to cram his remaining minutes with all those little things he never got round to in life: unburdening his sins on vicar Jim Broadbent, listening to his favourite music (in Our Price) asking Leslie Ash for some "love, or something", and pursuing the lovely Greta Scacchi. Both hilarious and touching, it's a wonderful snapshot of early 80's London, and also showcases an astonishing array of British acting talent, some of whom were at the very beginning of their careers. Never previously released either on video or DVD, snap up this rarest of comedy gems...
