When you first lay your eyes on the DVD case for Kill Keith (depicting TV’s Keith Chegwin in Uma Thurman’s Kill Bill garb and wielding a samurai sword) you really hope that what lies within will be gloriously inspired rather than unspeakably awful. Let’s face it, the idea of a slasher movie starring various TV-am Z-listers being killed off by an unknown “Breakfast Cereal Killer” is a fun idea, no matter how cringeworthy. Sadly, Kill Keith squanders any of its potential novelty value by being a confused and unfunny mess, which is somehow far worse on screen than it possibly ever sounded on paper.

Marc Pickering stars as Danny, a clumsy but well-intentioned runner on a breakfast TV show hosted by glamorous presenter Dawn (Susanna Fielding). Crudely named ‘The Crack of Dawn’ – a gag once used in The Office to highlight David Brent...

Kill Keith is released on DVD from March 26th and we have two copies of the DVD to give away to our readers.

The nation’s favourite presenter, Keith Chegwin, has been entertaining the British public for more than four decades with his zany brand of cheeky chappy chuckles. From Swap Shop to Cheggers Plays Pop, The Big Breakfast to GMTV, his irrepressible, upbeat energy has kept him at the top of his game – King of the live broadcast. But his reign is about to come to a sticky and gory end.

Much loved television personalities are being gruesomely despatched using a variety of breakfast condiments and as the body count grows, so does the hysteria. There appears to be no stopping the Breakfast Cereal Killer as he marches relentlessly towards his ultimate goal … to Kill Keith!

Kill Keith is the hilarious horror film with a comedy twist that stars Marc Pickering (Sleepy Hollow,...

Kill Keith is the hilarious horror...

Writer/director Andy Thompson helms his first solo feature 'Kill Keith' and it arrives in UK theatres tomorrow. The new British comedy horror follows a serial killer with unhealthy obsession for Brit TV presenter Keith Chegwin. Our international readers may not be too familiar with Cheggers but you would undoubtedly remember his hilarious appearance in the Orlando Bloom episode of Ricky Gervais' hit Brit sitcom 'Extras'. Our very own Faye Coulman recently got the chance to talk with Keith and you can check out the full interview below. 'Kill Keith' stars Susannah Fielding, Marc Pickering, David Easter, Simon Phillips, Dominic Burns and Ellie Jacob along with various TV stars such as Russell Grant, Joe Pasquale, Vanessa Feltz and legendary DJ Tony Blackburn. Chegwin can also be seen as himself in Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's newest TV show 'Life's Too Short' which airs on BBC...

Kill Keith

Stars: Marc Pickering, Susannah Fielding, David Easter, Simon Phillips, Tony Blackburn, Joe Pasquale, Keith Chegwin | Written and Directed by Andy Thompson

Oddity alert! Sound the quirky alarm! Horror-comedy meets breakfast TV in this low budget gurn-a-thon, which comes across as some sort of unholy mash-up of Morning Glory and Seven. Kill Keith stars Marc Pickering as Danny, a runner on a breakfast programme, who is in love with its charming presenter Dawn (Susannah Fielding – 4.3.2.1., Doctor Who, Pete Versus Life) and wishes to replace the arrogant co-host Cliff (Easter) at her side on the sofa. The programme is called ‘The Crack of Dawn’, in one of the film’s slightly more sophisticated (really) if smuttier jokes.

Unfortunately for Dawn and daytime TV presenters everywhere, the so-called Breakfast Cereal Killer (again, indicative of the level of humour) is at large, bumping off C-list celebs in breakfast-themed ways. Tony Blackburn, Joe Pasquale,...

Following on from the teaser released earlier this month, here’s the full-length trailer for the Brit horror-comedy Kill Keith which stars Marc Pickering, Susannah Fielding, Joe Tracini and David Easter in a film that sees someone out to kill some of the UK’s most beloved daytime celebrities including Tony Blackburn, Joe Pasquale, Russell Grant and obviously, given the films title, Keith Chegwin.

The film, which is brilliantly described as a “hilarious horror film with a comedy twist that is set to explode like a bowl of porridge left in the microwave for too long”, comes from director Andy Thompson and is set for release in the UK on November 11th.

Welcome to the world of Breakfast TV, with chirpy presenters who wake us up with their positive attitudes and happy dispositions – but something sinister is afoot – there is a killer on the loose, The Breakfast Cereal Killer and few are safe…...

Are you like me and would prefer to just sleep in every morning? I can't understand the concept of "morning person". As far as I'm concerned, I never want to hear those two words together unless they are preceded by "…gruesome death of a…". But when you are forced to wake up early, what's the worst part of it? The morning news shows that are so sugary they make you want to puke. And that is the subject of Kill Keith.

This UK horror-comedy romp stars Keith Chegwin as himself in a film that is described as Saw meets "Richard and Judy". (Don't worry; I didn't get the reference either without looking it up. "Richard and Judy" was a British morning show of the same ilk as the ones described above.) Blech.

Kill Keith hits theaters on November 11 and has the potential to be a Shaun of the Dead flavored treat.

Kill Keith stars Marc Pickering, Susannah Fielding, Joe Tracini and David Easter, sees someone out to kill some of the UK’s most beloved daytime celebrities including Tony Blackburn, Joe Pasquale, Russell Grant and obviously, given the films title, Keith Chegwin. The official Facebook page for the Brit comedy has revealed some rather immodest images of its eponymous star Keith Chegwin looking a bit more “macho” than normal:

To follow on from the first teaser trailer that we put up a while back, we’ve been sent the second teaser for new movie, Kill Keith which shows us how the movie was created… sort of!

Kill Keith stars Marc Pickering, Susannah Fielding, Joe Tracini and David Easter plus Keith Chegwin, Tony Blackburn, Joe Pasquale, Russell Grant and is directed by Andy Thompson. It follows the rather unlikely story of someone on a hunt to kill the legendary Keith Chegwin!

I’ve placed the full synopsis below. You’ll be able to see the movie in UK cinemas 11th November.

Following on from the hilarious poster released last month, here’s the second teaser trailer for the Brit comedy Kill Keith which stars Marc Pickering, Susannah Fielding, Joe Tracini and David Easter in a film that sees someone out to kill some of the UK’s most beloved daytime celebrities including Tony Blackburn, Joe Pasquale, Russell Grant and obviously, given the films title, Keith Chegwin.

A stroke of genius, or completely & utterly bonkers I don’t know, but Kill Keith sure has one of the more intriguing and unique film concepts you are likely to see all year. Basically a remake of Quentin Tarantino’s death list revenge thriller Kill Bill but set around Breakfast Television (!), the Brit horror/comedy is about a cereal killer (!!) who attempts to knock off his own death list of potential celebrity candidates who are up for the job of co-presenting the nation’s favourite morning show – “The Crack of Dawn” – after it’s male presenter leaves.

In breakfast telly’s A-list ensemble elite, basically The Expendables of the daytime goggle-box, Keith Chegwin, Tony Blackburn, Joe Pasquale and Russell Grant all star as co-presenting hopefuls and therefore targets for the killer. Meanwhile Danny Nichols (Marc Pickering), a hapless studio runner who day dreams about being the new co-presenter so he...
