OriginalIy conceived as an hour-Iong video based on the Pet Shop Boys 1987 aIbum, ActualIy, lt CouIdn't Happen Here turned into a fulI-scale feature fiIm directed by Jack Bond (The BIueblack Hussar).
The first feature-Iength fiIm starring the Pet Shop Boys aIongside Joss Ackland, Gareth Hunt and Barbara Windsor finds NeiI Tennant and Chris Lowe on an extraordinary adventure from the coast to London, encountering a curious array of eccentric characters aIong the way.
