Certain that his next step is to take over Hollywood\, Thorncroft insults his entire cast\, crew and the inhabitants of the Isle of Man during an interview with Terry Wogan. \nJump forward to the present day\, and Thorncroft is unemployed\, overweight and totally alone. The latest thorn in his side? Being replaced by John Nettles in an advert for orthopaedic socks. \nHis former co-star and ex-lover Patricia Deville (Essie Davis) has a successful career as a TV journalist\, and is married to Thorncroft’s ex-stuntman. A once minor character from the Mindhorn show is currently starring in a hugely successful spin-off to the show\, causing Thorncroft to dissolve into a pathetic shadow of his former self. \nOne day\, Thorncroft hears of a demented serial killer terrorising the streets of the Isle of Man. The killer appears unstoppable\, until he reveals that he is willing to negotiate – but only with Mindhorn. \nCeasing the opportunity\, Thorncroft believes that this is the return he needs to reignite his career\, despite the protests and concerns of those around him. \nThis hilarious\, dark and twisted comedy\, written and starring Julian Barratt (A Field in England\, The Mighty Boosh)\, alongside fellow co-writer and star Simon Farnaby (Rogue One\, Detectorists)\, will be a huge treat for fans of eclectic comedy. \nStarring alongside the writers are Steve Coogan (Alan Patridge: Alpha Papa\, The Trip) and Essie Davis (The Babadook\, Assassin’s Creed). \nCert: 15 \nRunning time: 89 mins \n URL:https://www.malvern-theatres.co.uk/whats-on/mindhorn-2-2-2/ LOCATION:United Kingdom GEO:55.378051;-3.435973 CATEGORIES:Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.malvern-theatres.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/mindhorn.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
