THN have received the first details that principal photography will begin on June 17th for WHAT WE DID ON OUR HOLIDAY. The new British family comedy, from Origin Pictures & BBC Films, received support from the National Lottery through Creative Scotland and will be shooting on location in Scotland across Glasgow and the Highlands.
WHAT WE DID ON OUR HOLIDAY stars some of Britain’s best-loved acting talent including Billy Connolly, Rosamund Pike, David Tennant, Ben Miller and Amelia Bullmore. The film also introduces young rising talent in Harriet Turnbull, Bobby Smalldridge and Emilia Jones in their first feature film roles.
The latest offering from the creators of BBC hit comedy Outnumbered, What We Did on Our Holiday is a heart-warming and uplifting comedy, telling the story of an ordinary family trying to survive in extraordinary circumstances. Written and directed by the co-creators of Outnumbered, Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton, the film is produced by award-winning Producer David M Thompson alongside Dan Winch in his first Producer role. Here’s the official synopsis:
Doug and Abi are taking their three children on a trip to Scotland for a big family gathering. They are in the midst of a difficult divorce, and have asked the kids to keep it a secret from their extended family. But as the inevitable feuds kick in, a completely unexpected turn of events involving the children causes further tensions to rise to the surface. And with the repercussions that ensue – hilarious and emotional in equal measure – the family are forced to put aside their differences and work together or else risk losing what they hold most dear.
We’re sure there will be a lot of interest with such a Brit cast, and a bit of Tennant, so we’ll keep you all updated as it goes along!
