What are Uncle Eric, Madge and the rest of the gang doing in beautiful Rome? And how have they found themselves in a world of fast cars, crime and hot money?
It’s the latest misadventures of the ultimate dysfunctional family, back with a non-stop night of comedy, nostalgia and the greatest music of the 1960s.
It's 19 August 1963.The country is buzzing with the news that £2.6 million has been stolen in the Great Train Robbery. Most of the gang have been captured but Buster Edwards and Bruce Reynolds are still on the run. There was only one witness to the robbery - Eric Smith, whose van had broken down on the way back from a DJ job in Leighton Buzzard! Convinced that Reynolds and Edwards are in hiding in Italy, the police send Eric there to identify them. He’s soon on the plane with Madge but, when they arrive, they’re caught up in an even bigger heist - The Italian Job.
Car chases, explosions, a bus hanging over a sheer mountain pass - you're probably not expecting any of that! Will Eric be a national hero and catch the Great Train Robbers? Will Michael Caine be making a guest appearance in the show? How do the cast know a load of great 60s hits that weren't even written in 1963? The answers to all these questions and many more will be studiously avoided in Uncle Eric’s Italian Job. And not alot of people know that! |
