Jimmy Carr's 'Downton Abbey' Spoof Trailer Drops

The British film industry's knack for period dramas and comedy has been combined in the new spoof, 'Fackham Hall.' Comedian Jimmy Carr takes on the role of The Vicar, donning a moustache and priest robes for the project. The film has been humorously pitched as the "love child" of 'Downton Abbey' and 'Airplane!', promising a unique blend of genres.

The storyline centers on the aristocratic Davenport family in 1930s England, but with an unexpected, absurd twist. The trailer opens with a fox and deer falling from the sky, immediately signaling a departure from traditional period dramas. It follows the family as they navigate the wedding of their eldest daughter to her "caddish cousin," with a comedic undertone.

Following the trailer's release, audiences have voiced significant excitement, calling for more "silly, slapstick, double entendre" comedies. Despite not yet being widely released, 'Fackham Hall' holds promising scores, with an IMDb rating of 6.7 out of 10 and 86 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It is set to premiere in UK cinemas on December 12th.
