A genuinely funny, good-natured comedy about saving the village by putting on a play, this is in many ways a companion piece to A Bunch of Amateurs - if you liked that you're sure to enjoy this too. For five years the council of a small Welsh village has been scamming the EU by claiming a grant for the non-existent Pontycelwyddau Players and spending the money on themselves. When Cultural Commissioner Schut unexpectedly appears with an invitation to open a prestigious European Arts Festival, desperate measures are called for. A feel-good film that has the same easy-going tone and gentle humour as the perennially popular An Englishman Who Went Up A Hill and Came Down A Mountain.
