Default Drivers protesting about a film

But Crook, best known for playing the character of Gareth in The Office,
denied the new comedy about deaths on the London Underground was
insensitive.

"When I read the premise I thought this might be a touchy subject," he
said. "But it soon became obvious that wasn't what the film is about."

Crook, who said he was "very proud" of the British-made movie, said he was
"disappointed" people had been "jumping to conclusions".

"They're imagining we've made a very distasteful, bad-taste film, which we
haven't," he said. "Hopefully those people who have objected will go and
see it and realise they have got the wrong end of the stick."



Which makes it sounds like the union's concerns are misplaced. Do we have
any opinions from anyone who's actually seen the film?

In-jokes for out-casts


If someone's slagging off his bread and butter I would expect him to say
something like that. On Jonathon Ross last week he was also rather
flippant about the whole thing too. In fact I'm almost certain that he did
not even want to do the interview but "had to" just to plug the film. He
looked very uncomfortable IMHO.

Film itself not out till Fri I believe - although in the News of the screws
yest it was given a 1 star rating and basically called a load a crap (its
2hrs too)
