   The film tells the story of the Irish town of Puckoon and the problems befallen upon it when the partition between Northern Ireland and the Republic is drawn up, cutting its way through the centre of the village and, more worringly, through the middle of the churchyard.

   Is Puckoon based on a true story?

   • Puckoon is a terrible piece of Irish whimsy based on a novel by Spike Milligan. The setting is a village in the west of Ireland being split up by the 1924 Boundary Commission separating Ulster from the Irish Free State. A line is drawn between Puckoon's houses and their privvies.

   Is Puckoon a 'carry on' movie?

   • Milligan gave the politics an air of levity, tempering it with a degree of surrealism. But on screen, Puckoon seems closer to the "Carry On" films than The Goons. With Milligan's raw material and a highly dependable cast including Sean Hughes, Richard Attenborough, Elliott Gould, and Griff Rhys Jones, you wouldn't think it could fail.
