Nov 3 2011 by Mark Smith, Runcorn and Widnes Weekly News

FILM buffs will be able to field questions to Peep Show and Phoenix Nights writer Neil Fitzmaurice when his latest creation hits the screen at The Brindley.

Several of the region’s best comic actors can be seen in heartfelt British family comedy film Charlie Noades RIP at the venue later this month.

The film was written by and features Liverpool comic Neil Fitzmaurice, whose writing and acting credits include comedy hits Peep Show, Phoenix Nights and That Peter Kay Thing.

His first film Going Off Big Time was nominated for four BIFA awards and was named one of Film4’s Best Of British.

Charlie Noades RIP also stars John Thomson (The Fast Show, Cold Feet) John Henshaw (Early Doors, The Visit, Looking For Eric) Dave Spikey (Phoenix Nights, Dead Man Weds) Euan Mackintosh (The Office) as well as John McArdle, Mickey Finn and Pauline Daniels.

After the film, which comes to Runcorn next Friday, November 11, there will also be a question and answer session with the film’s producers Tony and Neil Fitzmaurice, director Jim Doyle and possibly some more of the cast.

In the film, Parr’s Scrap and Salvage is the family business run by Les Parr (McArdle), the last few years have been especially hard financially and he has been forced into taking out a loan from local businessman and property developer Vinny McCoy (Henshaw) only to find that any default on repayment could result in the loss of the business and all he holds dear.

It is all part of McCoy’s master plan as he needs the scrapyard for his new development.

Tickets for the film are on sale now priced £5 and £4.50 for concessions from The Brindley box office on 0151 907 8360, or online at www.thebrindley.org.uk

The show starts at 7.30pm.
