UK: David Tennant Stars In Nativity 2: Danger In The Manger Today




If you're planning on getting the Christmas decorations up today, make sure you have the TV turned to BBC One at 3.15pm today (2.45pm for viewers in Wales) for the perfect accompaniment as you tinsel up your tree.

David Tennant stars in the improvised festive comedy movie Nativity 2: Danger In The Manger! as twins Donald, an primary school teacher, and Roderick Peterson, a successful composer. 

An anxious teacher starts a new job at an under-achieving school and quickly finds himself struggling to cope with a wild classroom assistant, a group of under-performing kids and his own very pregnant wife. He soon becomes embroiled in a madcap plan to enter a national Song for Christmas competition and finds himself embarking on a disastrous road trip in search of the competition venue - the Christmas Castle. Lost in the wilderness with a class of small children, a baby and a donkey, he has to stand up, face his fears and try to lead them not only to safety, but victory. 

The sequel to the 2009 smash hit, Nativity, Nativity 2 sees a return for the talented pupils of St Bernadette's Primary School and their teaching assistant, the irrepressible Mr. Poppy (Marc Wootton). The film also stars Joanna Page, Jason Watkins, Ian McNeice, Pam Ferris and Jessica Hynes and was filmed in late 2011 in Coventry, Wales and Stratford-upon-Avon. Created and directed by Debbie Isitt, it was released for Christmas 2012.
