GANGSTA GRANNY



(Julia McKenzie & Reece Buttery as Granny & Ben)

Based on the bestselling book by David Walliams and boasting an impressive all-star cast including Joanna Lumley, Rob Brydon, Miranda Hart, Julia McKenzie and a hilarious cameo from superstar Robbie Williams, Gangsta Granny is a must-see comedy treat for all the family.

When Mum and Dad drop plumbing-mad schoolboy Ben off to stay at his granny’s for the evening, he expects the usual, boring old cabbage soup, never-ending knitting and endless Scrabble with his equally boring grandma.

Until one day, Ben’s granny tells him an incredible story... she was once known as the ‘Black Cat’, a notorious international jewel thief! Together they go on a wild adventure to complete the one heist she never quite managed in her criminal heyday – to break into the Tower of London, and steal the Crown Jewels.

Gangsta Granny will be screened on BBC Entertainment channel 120 on DStv on December 24 at 20h35.
