Comedian Jimmy Carr takes aim at costume dramas with first film foray

from The Radio National Hour · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Thailand’s snap election has delivered an emphatic win for the conservative incumbent Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, the third leader in as many years. Polls had put the pro-democracy People’s Party well ahead of the incumbent, but with recent border clashes with Cambodia, Prime Minister Anutin was able to capitalise on surging nationalism. It was a vote for stability but was it a vote for progress? And Jimmy Carr is famous for his sharp one-liners and controversial comedy, but his latest project Fackham Hall isn't his response to the critics. It's the title of an hilarious new film taking aim at the British period drama genre.
