ull Monty star Robert Carlyle says the brand new TV spin-off of the Nineties shock hit film doesn't draw back from highlighting how “the whole infrastructure of the country has been chipped away” by austerity.
Carlyle joined the others stars, together with Mark Addy, Steve Huison and Lesley Sharp, on the pink carpet in Sheffield for the UK premiere of the eight-part sequence set to air on Disney+ later this month.
The new TV comedy is ready 25 years after the motion of the 1997 movie, which launched the world to the group of six unemployed South Yorkshire metal staff who flip to stripping to make ends meet.
Asked if the political messaging of unique shoestring funds manufacturing has survived the transfer to Disney, Carlyle stated: “Absolutely. In that respect, it’s exactly the same.
“And congratulations to Disney for going along with that.
“You cannot separate the politics from the Full Monty. It’s impossible.
“These men, 25 years on, have lived through what everybody in this country has lived through, 25 years, near enough, of austerity.
“Their whole being has been chipped away, the whole infrastructure of the country has been chipped away.
“And that’s there for sure.”
Speaking outdoors Sheffield’s well-known Leadmill membership, Carlyle stated the manufacturing has not shied away from any of those points.
He stated: “To be honest with you, I don’t think myself or any of the boys would have done it, if it had.
“And, certainly, Simon Beaufoy, wouldn’t have attempted to write it. There’s no way they have could do that.”
