Johnny English (2003, Peter Howitt)

15/02/2024

Johnny English is a 2003 film directed by Peter Howitt, the first in the saga of the same name.

Starring Rowan Atkinson with Natalie Imbruglia, Ben Miller and John Malkovich, it is an action comedy that parodies the spy story genre, in particular the James Bond film genre.

Johnny English is a British secret service agent, inept and clumsy, and for this reason relegated to office work for some time, although he continues to dream of becoming a real spy in the field.

English is tasked with thwarting a plot to steal the Crown Jewels, on display at the Tower of London; here he meets Lorna Campbell for the first time, a woman as fascinating as she is enigmatic. Meanwhile, during a blackout the regalia is stolen. English and his assistant Angus Bough, a young colleague who often proves smarter and more intelligent than his superior, despite relying on rather unusual investigation methods, discover that the jewels have been stolen by Dieter Klein and Klaus Vendetta, two German thieves low-grade; however English connects them to Pascal Sauvage, a wealthy French entrepreneur with many gray areas in his past. However, the man is very well regarded by the establishment across the Channel, so much so that Pegasus, English's superior, considers such conjectures absurd and orders him not to get involved.

Despite this, English and Bough decide to disobey and illegally enter Sayvage's London headquarters, looking for evidence that can confirm their suspicions: here the two discover that the man, a descendant of Charles Edward Stuart, aims to become the new king of England. Lorna also arrives, who turns out to be an Interpol agent, also interested in the entrepreneur's shady plans.

With English aware of their plots, Sauvage speeds things up and sends Dieter and Klaus to force Queen Elizabeth II to abdicate, also causing the entire Windsor line of succession to be swept away: so the English government has no choice but to offer the Crown right in Sauvage, last heir of the House of Stuart. They arrive at the French residence of Sauvage, where the man has invited numerous internationally renowned criminals to reveal his plans once he becomes monarch: to transform the whole of England into the largest prison in the world.

Discovered and taken prisoner, English and Lorna are saved by Bough and, once back home, rush to stop Sauvage's imminent coronation. English wreaks havoc during the ceremony, initially sparking laughter among those present in Westminster; however, when he manages to steal the crown of Saint Edward from the hands of the archbishop of Canterbury, the only one with the power to appoint a new monarch, the true nature of Sauvage emerges and he tries to kill English and threatens the archbishop himself, forcing the ceremony.

DAVID TENNANT, THE 'GRAMMARIAN' SCHOOL MAGAZINE 1989

Transcript below the break

"As some of you may remember from last year, David MacDonald, then in his 5th year, had a leading part in I.T.V.'s "Dramarama" Production "The Secret of Croftmore".

Since then David's career in Acting has gone from strength to strength.

After leaving Paisley Grammar last year, David succesfully gained a place at the "R.S.A.M.D." in Glasgow, where he is studying for a B.A. in Dramatic Arts. As he explained to the "Grammarian", the course draws together every aspect of producing a show, whether it be for Television or for the Theatre. As part of his course work, he has to learn about:

Movement (How to sway like a tree)

Vocal Projection (How to shout at the audience)

Make-up (How to hide your zits)

Directing (How to shout at other people)

Stage Management (How to arrange furniture)

On top of this, he has regular periods of Dancing, Singing and Fencing?????

David has a further 2 years with the "R.S.A.M.D." before leaving to go into either Teaching or serious Acting. Given the choice David would prefer to do the latter. Already this year, he has completed the filming of a Television Play, which will be screened by the B.B.C. later in the year.

David has two screen idols: John Cleese, as he is a "Genius" and has the longest legs ever seen on television, and also Derek Jacobi, whom he met recently.

David has no real ambitions, only to live and to "fulfill" himself, -Whatever that means?

There is however one particular role which David would love to play - Dr. WHO.

The reason?

"I have a fettish about men dressed in plastic suits !!!!!"

When you do see David on the television or on the stage it won't be as David MacDonald, but as David Tennant, his stage-name.

Who knows, maybe one day David will be as famous as Peter Howitt (Joey, from "BREAD") who was also a pupil at Paisley Grammar School.
