'Gert Lush' [English, Adjective, Bristolian Slang]: - The highest form of praise a Bristolian can bestow on anything.
Feel-good comedy about loved-up couple Dan and Lisa, set in Bristol in the small town of Bamford.
Russell Howard stars as Dan, who brings his new girlfriend Lisa home to meet the family at Christmas, but introducing her to his eccentric family leads to unexpected yet hilarious consequences.
What begins as an over enthusiasm to welcome Lisa into the family ends with Lisa running away and making Dan regret having ever introducing her to them in the first place.
Starring Neil Morrissey as Dan's dad Dave, Sophie Thompson as mum Sue, real-life sister Kerry Howard as sister Julie and not forgetting Greg Davies as Uncle Tony, the dysfunctional family pull together in their own unique and crazy way to put things right.
