Could we finally have a contender for bottom of the league? Bottom of the barrel? Most certainly. Keith Lemon: The Film is widely regarded by critics as one of the worst British comedy movies of all time. Completely mauled upon its release and a disappointment at the box office in 2012, Leigh Francis (AKA Keith Lemon) was nevertheless and remains one of the most popular comedians on the small screen.
So what went wrong? To discuss this in great length with Rob and Guy is one of the funniest people on social media, Nina Buckley. Nina went above and beyond for Britcom Goes to the Movies, watching this monstrosity on no fewer than five (FIVE) occasions before recording, to really get to the heart of what made this film not work.
We get deep into the character of Keith Lemon, who first appeared to South East ITV audiences in 2000 and has been one of Leigh Francis’ go-to characters for the intervening quarter of a century. Celebrity Juice, Very Brilliant World Tour, The Keith and Paddy Picture Show and of course the programme that made Francis a household name, Bo Selecta.
So join us for Keith Lemon: The Film and all that comes with it. Copious celeb cameos shot on green screen, recycled jokes, inappropriate touching of female co-stars, hastily written and rewritten denouements and a whole load besides as we finally answer the age-old question: Is this really worse than Lesbian Vampire Killers?Leigh Francis – Whatever I Want – First appearance of Keith Lemonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK4QKhIcqhU&t=1052sKeith and Fabio – Bo In The USAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL-N_A0d1vs&list=PL390C2FE08AA6D091Keith Lemon’s Very Brilliant World Tour – Australiahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPAReLy-UPUKeith Lemon best bits – Celebrity Juicehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGanpd_jLLILeigh Francis Apologyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KYgYTxJwjcKeith Lemon: The Film – Trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIemgNIFKEMKeith Lemon: The Film – Gary Barlowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kum3R7_EEos
