Australian Premiere

It’s banks, bowls and bingo as a group of retirees become Britain’s Most Wanted in this rambunctious heist comedy.

Faced with mounting medical bills, depleted pensions, the prospect of their social club being sold and a steadfast refusal to accept the injustice of old age, retired couple Arthur (Bernard Hill, Lord of the Rings) and Martha Goode (Virginia McKenna, A Town Like Alice) turn to a life of crime. So begins a Bonnie and Clyde tour of National Trust properties and provincial banks in their Winnebago. Armed with a concealed banana and cucumber respectively, the unlikely criminal masterminds bamboozle the authorities pursuing them across the countryside.

A veritable who's who of senior British small and big screen talent join Arthur and Martha as they go Robin Hood on big, bad bank bosses with the help of a band of merry cohorts.

If you’ve been missing Only Fools and Horses Christmas specials, then this is one for you.
