of the Gods
DVD
Release: 2nd June 2003
"The
pairing of Coogan and Brydon 聟 something of a comedic dream
team." The Independent
Rob
Brydon and Steve Coogan star in Cruise of the Gods, the highly acclaimed
sci-fi comedy drama broadcast on 大象传媒 TWO over Christmas 2002, with
special guest appearances from Brian Conley and Jack Jones
Andy
Van Allen (Rob Brydon), the former hero of a cult 80's futuristic
TV show, 'Children of Castor', is now working as an hotel porter.
In contrast, his ex co-star, Nick Lee (Steve Coogan), has since
shot to fame in the USA starring in a blockbuster mini-series, 'Sherlock
Holmes in Miami.'
Things
start to look up for Andy when an unusual offer comes along; the
Children of Castor Fan Club has organised a fan cruise and invite
him to attend as the principal celebrity. Once aboard however, a
combination of Andy's cynicism, his fans' adoration, a misguided
sexual encounter and an unexpected death ensure the paradise cruise
is far from plain sailing.
A Baby Cow Production, Cruise of the Gods is written by Tim Firth,
directed by Declan Lowney, (Father Ted, Cold Feet, Happiness), produced
by Alison MacPhail, and the Executive Producers are Henry Normal
and Steve Coogan.
