Sort of true story of a bright young London lawyer, Joel Fry, who is sent to Burnley to talk to Rory Kinnear who wants to support his community by creating his own bank. However this is something the regulatory powers that be, in London, headed by nasty Hugh Bonneville, haven't allowed for 150 years and have no intention of allowing now.
One of those feel good British comedy dramas with a warm heart, lively adorable eccentric character with a heart of gold and a bit of romance thrown in for good measure. It's all a big twee, but still rather pleasant and amusing enough and Fry and Kinnear do a good job in keeping our attention, all the way to the unsurprising ending. Plus, it's nice to see the banking regulators portrayed as the villainous dogs they are.
PS Really liked the enjoyable turn from character actor stalwart Angus Wright as Fry's boss.
