The Mischief Theatre Company return as the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society who are this time determined to ignore a BBC blacklisting by hijacking a live production of Charles Dickens' famous festive fable. Yet they struggle with studio direction and special effects, and trying to keep a professional cast at bay.

Awesome Movie
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
It was funny had a lot of jokes i would want another film made by then x
We started to watch this because of Diana Rigg and Derek Jacobi. We managed fifteen minutes. Completely unfunny. Terrible canned laughter, you could see the joke (for want of a better word) coming ten minutes before it arrived. Complete waste of time.
I thought this might be good for my daughter to watch as light relief since she is studying it for her GCSE, but I have never seen such an appalling attempt to be funny. All it consisted of was awfully contrived slapstick, and badly conceived attempts to make it 'ironically' funny. What made it obscene was the hideous canned laughter which was designed to let the unintelligent audience know when they should be laughing, which was nothing more than patronising and offensive.I am surprised that such greats as Diana Rigg and Derek Jacob had anything to do with iti The only saving grace was that it was moderately short.
After last year's pratfalls with Peter Pan, the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society have been banished from the BBC, who have decided to use professional actors for their recreation of A Christmas Carol starring Derek Jacobi.However the inept amateur dramatic society ambushed the BBC production and staged their own version with Dame Diana Rigg providing the narration. She is the aunt of one of the members of the drama society.Again the production was a shambolic travesty with actors having trouble remembering the lines, props not working, stage hands walking into shot and an actor trying to sabotage the production so he can play the lead role of Scrooge.The trouble is this was dreadful (unintentionally.) I did not laugh once. It is clear that the joke has worn thin after last year's production.
