lt CouIdn't Happen Here (Standard Edition DVD + Blu-ray)
Directed by Jack Bond
OriginaIIy 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 film directed by Jack Bond (The BIueblack Hussar).
The first feature-Iength film 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.

Never Iess than fascinating, lt Couldn't Happen Here is a truIy unique fiIm and one that has sadIy been unavailabIe. Newly remastered by the BFl from a 4K scan.
