THE BREAK: THE COMPLETE SERIES 1-4
By Ian Brown & James Hendrie
Synopsis
Welcome to Flamford the town sanity forgot... Edgy sharp-tongued City burn-out Andy Chambers has been advised for the sake of his health to take a break from his stressful London lifestyle and get some rest. So he goes to stay with his estranged uncle Jeff Whitaker at his seaside home in Flamford - but as he soon discovers living with his relative is far from relaxing. Good-natured and relentlessly cheerful Jeff is determined to bring the recalcitrant Andy out of himself so he leads him on an odyssey round town to meet the (somewhat eccentric) locals - including Jeff's on-off paramour Pest Control Officer Corinne; Fish Shop Frank who serves up saithe with a smile; loud lovelorn Town Crier Peter Humfriss; chiselling pensioner Mr Truepenny and vicar-with-a-past The Reverend Beverley. As uncle and nephew embark on a series of comic poignant adventures - from a quest for a proper roast dinner to a hunt for a poison-pen reviewer - can Jeff break down Andy's barriers and persuade him to enjoy life Flamford-style? Created by Ian Brown and James Hendrie this warm-hearted quirky sitcom stars Tom Palmer and James Northcote as Andy and Philip Jackson as Jeff with a stellar supporting cast including Alison Steadman Mark Benton Shobna Gulati and Rasmus Hardiker. This comprehensive collection also includes nine in-depth interviews with the cast and crew in which they chat to producer Gordon Kennedy about the making of The Break. These never-before-heard behind-the-scenes discussions are a must for fans of the series.
