Ready When You Are, Mr. McGillSynopsis: What would you do if your first---and maybe last---big break for television stardom turns up? The classic comedy by erstwhile British television writer Jack Rosenthal gets a modern and equally funny update. The story is about a day on the set of a TV series entitled "Police Siren." One of the extras, Joe McGill (Golden Globe winner Courtenay, Nicholas Nickleby) is terribly excited. He's been given one line to say onscreen. The embattled director (Nighy, The Constant Gardener, The Girl In The Cafe) is at the end of his tether with the cast and the crew. The principal cast has been flubbing their all day and the crew is not quite up to speed. Surely an extra wouldn't forget his one line, right? What follows when McGill finally answers to the call of "Action!" is one of the most hilarious moments in British humor. Casts: Tom Courtenay, Bill Nighy, Amanda Holden Duration : 90 minutes
