Comedian Jimmy Carr teamed up with his brother Patrick (who produced the screenplay) to create Fackham Hall. The film is packed with jokes and references, to the point where it almost feels overwhelming, but it builds to a thrilling climax. The story centers around Fackham Hall, an estate similar to Downton Abbey – though the name sounds a bit like a swear word when said with a Cockney accent. The Davenport family has lived there for 400 years, but they’re facing ruin after Lord and Lady Davenport’s four sons all died in separate, unusual accidents: one on the Titanic, one on the Hindenburg, one in a golf accident, and another from, well, excessive self-indulgence.
