Jimmy Carr said:
"The British Film Industry does two things very well. Period drama & comedy. Now we didn’t have time——to write two movies, so we’ve had to mash the genres together – hope that’s ok. I’m just slightly worried that if you say Fackham Hall in a posh English accent it might be, "misconstrued," hopefully that won’t be a problem."
