Written by actor, best-selling author and noted satirist John Wells and based on his and Richard Ingrams' hilarious Dear Bill letters for Private Eye Anyone for Denis? was a major West End hit in the early 1980s and remains an unequivocally high watermark of British farce.

Starring Wells himself as the much-put-upon Denis and Angela Thorne in an arguably career-best performance as The Iron Lady, a remarkable supporting cast includes Robert Stephens, Joan Sanderson, Alfred Molina, Roy Kinnear, Nicky Henson and John Cater. This television adaptation for Thames Television one of the hits of the ITV network's 1982 Christmas season was directed award-winning writer/director (and comedy legend in his own right) Dick Clement.

While Maggie is away at a Euro-Conference, Denis invites two of his drinking chums for a weekend of mischief at Chequers. Things start to go seriously wrong, however, when she returns unexpectedly and mistakes her husband's friends for EEC Commissioners!
