Doctor Who Vs. Lesbian Vampire Killers

This British comedy-horror film, shown 

again on the Horror channel last night,
was essentially a big-screen vehicle 
for BBC double-act James Corden
and Matthew Horne, that ultimately
received mainly negative reviews.

Horne (pictured left as Jimmy) is best
known for his roles on three series of
The Catherine Tate Show and Nan,
whilst Corden now hosts The Late 
Late Show on CBS.
 Paul McGann co-starred here as
the Vicar of Cragwych, the Norfolk
village cursed by a centuries-old 
vampire.

from the Black Stuff, Titanic) and
