A micro-budget comedy that trumped blockbusters such as Avatar and 2012 on home turf in Wales is to have a London premiere this month.
Cinema bosses have been so impressed by the Welsh reaction to the £100,000 movie, A Bit Of Tom Jones?, that it is set to be screened nationwide.
The cast, crew and backers of the bawdy farce about an attempt to sell the severed penis of the Welsh singer will appear in Leicester Square on 25 January.
Leading man Jonny Owen, 38, who has appeared in Torchwood, said: “Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would end up in Leicester Square.”
The cast also includes Denise Welch, Eve Myles and John Henshaw.
You can watch a trailer of the film and listen to an interview with the Director and Writer of the film, Peter Watkins-Hughes, by visiting the Entrepreneurial Cardiff website.
