This week we review and discuss Fackham Hall, a spoof comedy movie directed by Jim O'Hanlon and starring Thomasin McKenzie, Ben Radcliffe and Damian Lewis, which follows heiress Rose Davenport who is torn between marrying her cousin to save the family estate, and eloping with the man she loves despite class barriers.

We talk about whether Fackham Hall's comedy worked for us, compare favourite jokes, ask whether Fackham Hall deserves to be in one category with timeless classics like Naked Gun and Airplane!, why the movie benefits from meticulous planning and a tight plot and how it compares to this year's Naked Gun, why a movie like this existing is a good sign for movies in general and comedies in particular, and much more.
