Things are not looking good for TV chef Felix Limb (Henry Goodman); his ratings are at their lowest ever and his wife Michelle (Julianne White) is feeling neglected. When his show is unceremoniously cancelled, Felix reacts to the bombshell by leaving Michelle for Amy, his PA, with whom he’s been having an affair. But along with his loss of celebrity status goes Amy’s interest in him. To add to his woes, an end of series dinner party turns into a hostage situation when two armed bank robbers stop by unannounced. Jet black comedy with a distinctly British flavour.

More cack than cake

Even a small film like this has at least 100 people involved in it. I'm assuming they weren't all psychotic dunderheads so why, oh, why didn't one of them have the grace to stand up and say, 'Guys, this is unfunny, unbelievable, turgid crap.' This could well be the most depressing, soul destroying film I've ever seen - well, maybe not ever, but certainly since the equally putrid 'Starter For Ten'. When the British film industry is finally and unequivocally declared dead the directors of these films should be charged with murder.

A Customer from manc, 5th October, 2006

SS sent me this DVD even though I did not have it in my selection! There was no info on the film so though I would fill in the blanks.... Felix Limb (Henry Goodman) is a successful TV celeb chef at the end of his popularity run (think of the keith floyd type). It is a mildly amusing comedy with the following ingredients media, celeb, hostage crisis boiled for far too long and unfortunatley leaves you hungry and wanting more. Do watch the short film cerial killer that is included in the extras but give the making of documentary a miss unless you are desperate to know about the uninteresting people behind the making of this film.
