(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.
