Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is the sequel to 2004's 'Blackpool,' which had the same cast but was a murder mystery—BBC basically said 'what if we did that again but MUSICAL?'
The real Jules Rimet trophy was stolen in 1966 and found by a dog named Pickles, which this film absolutely should have referenced.
