1992 in Grimley, but for this mining community life is stuck forty years before. The colliery is at the heart of local life, but with more and more being laid off, the juggling of paying the bills is becoming harder, life is becoming more and more depressing.
The only thing to keep them all going is the Colliery Band led by Pete Postlethwaite.
An all-star Brit cast, Stephen Tompkinson (Ballykissangel & Drop the Dead Donkey), Melanie Hill (Aveline in Bread), Pete Postlethwaite, Tara Fitzgerald, and Ewan McGreggor bring their natural talent to an already gritty comedy drama.
This film is great from start to finish and I defy anyone to keep a dry eye throughout. I still can't understand how so few people know about this film and The Full Monty somehow stole the show from this film. BRassed Off is a much better all-round product and will be a classic for years to come.
