The Smallest Show on Earth
The Funniest Show on Earth!
A lighthearted British comedy about a couple inheriting a decrepit cinema and making the best of their eccentric situation.
Jean and Bill are a married couple trying to scrape a living. Out of the blue they receive a telegram informing them Bill's long-lost uncle has died and left them his business—a cinema in the town of Sloughborough. Unfortunately they can't sell it for the fortune they hoped as they discover it is falling down and almost worthless.
