Prepared to follow Helen Fielding and Nick Hornsby whilst the next big thing from Cool Britannia hitting America is Ben Elton. Currently known to a broad public television market whilst the funnyman behind Blackadder, The Kiddies, and The Thin Blue Line, Elton, author of Popcorn, lamps up the fictional atmosphere with Blast from the Past.Part noir thriller, part amusing send-up of the politics of extremism, Blast from yesteryear may be the new story from British humor trend (stand-up, playwright, television writer, and author) Ben Elton--a title soon-to be known in most groups when Joel Schumacher's film of his guide Popcorn reaches the gold screen.In the first 80s, when Polly was a seventeen-year-old ideological peace protestor and Port was an U.S. Army captain stationed at Englandis Greenham Common, both had a most unlikely and key event. No a couple might have had more to dispute about, save that they could not live without eachother, however oneday Jack found the final outcome that he liked soldiering more than Polly and diminished their love to be always a profession military man.Now, sixteen years later, Polly is just a lonesome thirty-something social services worker and Jack is just a four-star general who has returned to Britain to locate her, his only true love.
