“Big girl, facial hair, ankles like a lamppost,” says Ant, describing Dec’s ex-girlfriend. Or is it Dec, describing Ant’s girlfriend? Never could tell... Anyway, find the lamppost gag funny/original/clever and chances are you’ll enjoy the rest of the Geordie twosome’s film debut – the bastard child of SM:TV’s shittier sketches and Saturday Night Takeaway’s best bits.

Charming, if you like Ant and Dec. Irrelevant if you still don’t know which one is which. “I don’t think I can go through this again,” says Ant (or Dec) at the end. Salient advice, indeed.
