Romantic comedy from 1993, starring the late Rik Mayall. The night before his wedding, hapless Neil wakes up on a train to Scarborough with a stripper, thanks to his mischievous friends. Angry at first, he's desperate to get home in time to tie the knot with Sophie, but slowly comes to accept his fate. With Helena Bonham Carter, Nathaniel Parker, Martin Clunes and Serena Gordon
Great of ITV to put on a very rare showing of one of the best things Rik Mayall did.
Not much anarchic comedy, but worth it for the fantastic performance of Helena Bonham Carter, as you've never seen her before. 40sec clip - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d0kkton-Iw&t=9m9s

Didn't the stripper have a tattoo of a swallow on her leg? and when asked what it was she said "a swallow, and no I don't"
