Synopsis:
This is an improvised, low-budget mockumentary shot over five days which follows Le Donk and Scor-Zay-Zee. Fifteen years ago Le Donk seemed to have it all. Now his life is shit. Le Donk has lived, loved and learned. Along the way, he’s lost a classy girlfriend in Olivia (Olivia Colman), but gained a talented sidekick in Nottingham rap prodigy Scor-Zay-Zee AKA Dean Palinczuk (playing himself) whom he decides to take on a road trip that he hopes will change both their lives forever. With Meadows and his fly-on-the-wall crew in tow, Donk sets out to make his protege Scorz-Ayz-Ee a star with a little help from British indie-rock icons The Arctic Monkeys.
Paddy's role:
Le Donk; a delusional, obnoxious immature, perennially beanie-hatted roadie who in addition to his roadie duties fancies himself as a music-biz svengali. The character of Le Donk first surfaced in a series of short films which made up part 'Shane's World' extras on ‘One Upon A Time In The Midlands’ DVD. |
