S01 E01 Lesbian Vampire Killers (2009)

Series one episode one of Britcom Goes to the Movies. After a low-brow discussion in a high-end Leeds boozer, Guy Walker and Rob Heath decided to set on a quest to definitively rank as many British comedy small to big/screen transfers as they could before they or more importantly their audience got bored of it. Building the long list of movies that contained some kind of programme, sketch, or talent crossover was the fun bit, then the real work began.   It was decided that Britcom Goes to the Movies would kick off with the 2009 cinematic outing of the Horne & Corden partnership, Lesbian Vampire Killers. This was a film that had become a byword for terrible TV comedy transfers, which is why neither of our presenters had ever seen it. Was this Hammer Horror-inflected comedy really as bad as everyone said? There was only one way to find out.   Charting LVK’s origins all the way from the universally loved Gavin & Stacy to the unanimously slated late-noughties sketch show Horne & Corden, this is a deep dive into all things Lesbian Vampire Killers. As a quirk of format at the end of this episode this film would sit both top and bottom of the BGTTM rankings list, but how long would it stay at either end?   You can follow Britcom Goes To The Movies on Twitter and Instagram as @britcomgoes you can email us at [email protected] and don’t forget to like, subscribe and give us a lovely review wherever you get your podcasts to help us reach a wider audience.   James Corden’s early TV comedy appearance in Boyz Unlimited https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z52BM_RXa-I   Lesbian Vampire Killers trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug60BEOdrB4   Viz Comic’s “Which McGann Brother are you? https://twitter.com/PaulBurleyHQ/status/583366696766967808?t=KfzOgNHagjBQG3Pp1nssLA&s=08   I like You So Much Better When You’re Naked by Ida Maria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkVy2FeqIyc    Shout by James Corden and Dizzy Rascal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHq3vy_7cJQ Learn more about your ad choices.
