But Does It Have a Spider Baby?



News of filming on Wide Open Spaces, from by Father Ted cowriter Arthur Mathews, directed by Tom Hall, and starring Ardal O'Hanlon, Ewen Bremner and Owen Roe:

‘Wide Open Spaces’ is a belated coming of age comedy set in a remote part of Ireland about two slackers working to pay off a debt by helping to build a Famine Theme Park for a dodgy local entrepreneur. With a classic double-act at the centre, ‘Wide Open Spaces’ is a unique take on male friendship and how it is easier to break up with a girl than with your best friend.


Packet of Smarties to the best answer: "I thought we already had a famine theme park. It's called . . . "

Truth is stranger than fiction:

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry while looking at the pictures. Did feel like killing the bastard owner, though, who blamed d "a few groups of professional troublemakers". "Like all people they like to get into queues and just generate a bit of aggravation."

Are "outside agitators" and anarchists targeting Lapland this year, whipping up discontent among queues waiting to see Father Christmas? Not a bad idea, now I come to think of it...

"Santa got attacked, one of the elves got smacked in the face and pushed into a pram.

"I was punched in the forehead in the ticket office by an irate customer."

You couldn't make it up!

Famine theme park name? How about, 'SPUD-U-CRAVE'?
