BBC Films @BBCFilms

"It's true, we're backing What We Did On Our Holiday, starring Billy Connolly, Rosamund Pike & David Tennant"

"Exciting to be backing a film from comedy aces Guy Jenkin & Andy Hamilton (Outnumbered), but for Twitter we'll have to shorten that name!"

The film follows divorcing couple Doug and Abi (David Tennant and Rosamund Pike) and their three children on a chaotic trip to Scotland for a family birthday. Other cast members are believed to include Ben Miller and Amelia Bullmore along with young actors Harriet Turnbull, Bobby Smalldridge and Emilia Jones, who will be playing the couple's three children.

About the film

Doug and Abi are taking their three children on a trip to Scotland for a big family gathering. They are in the midst of a difficult divorce, and have asked the kids to keep it a secret from their extended family. But as the inevitable feuds kick in, a completely unexpected turn of events involving the children causes further tensions to rise to the surface. And with the repercussions that ensue - hilarious and emotional in equal measure - the family are forced to put aside their differences and work together or else risk losing what they hold most dear.

BBC Films and Origin Pictures will produce with backing from Creative Scotland. Shooting starts in Scotland on June 17th with the film scheduled for a 2014 release.
