Plot

Two Comic Strip capers. A poor Welsh writer is gutted when the Hollywood upstarts who've bought his story, "Strike", bring in Al Pacino & Meryl Streep to play Arthur Scargill & his missus. And is there no stopping the ruthless Jennifer Saunders as the maniacal leader of the "GLC"? Pure genius.
