Premise

Bleecker Street describes the film, "A spoof that crosses Downton Abbey with Airplane! and Monty Python, Fackham Hall follows loveable pick-pocket Eric Noone (Radcliffe) as he lands a job at a unique English manor house. He quickly rises through the ranks, and a forbidden romance with lady-of-the-house Rose Davenport (McKenzie) blossoms. But when an unexpected murder occurs, Eric gets framed - leaving Rose and her family’s future perilously uncertain." [4]

Cast

Production

Fackham Hall is a parody of traditional period dramas like Downton Abbey (2010) and Gosford Park (2001). [5] Comedian and screenwriter Jimmy Carr said Fackham Hall was a mashup of period drama and comedy. [6]

Filming began in Yorkshire in November 2024 and was completed in late 2024. [3] [7] Additional cast members announced were Damian Lewis, Ben Radcliffe, and Tom Felton. [8] Additional filming was done at Knowsley Hall in Liverpool, and Thornton Hough, Wirral. [9] [10]
