Fisherman's Friends 2: One and All [Blu-ray]

Product Information

The sequel to 2019’s Fisherman’s Friends, Fisherman’s Friends One and All (2022) is coming to both Blu-ray and DVD this November in the UK.

Following the death of Jago ( David Hayman), the sea-shanty band are looking for a new member to join them – enter Morgan Jenkins ( Richard Harrington), and Jim ( James Purefoy– Momentum) isn’t finding any of this easy to deal with, frequently talking to his Dad, leading to Hayman appearing onscreen at the appropriate times. I get this, as I would still frequently talk to my Dad after he died in 2015, and even today, there are still times when I’ll think about something, and imagine how he would react. If you don’t already own the first film then there’s a Fisherman’s Friends 1 & 2 boxset also coming out on the same day. His Mum, Maggie ( Maggie Steed), runs a B&B in which they both live, and coming to stay early on, is washed-up singer-songwriter Aubrey Flynn (singer-songwriter Imelda May). Jim and Aubrey get on like two peas in completely different pods, so you can imagine how things will go from there. On Friday 2nd September, FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved 2019 uplifting comedy hit, sails into cinemas across the UK and Ireland.James Purefoy reprises the role of Jim, with other returning cast members including Maggie Steed, Dave Johns, Sam Swainsbury, Jade Anouka and David Hayman. New faces in Port Isaac include Richard Harrington as the new band member Morgan, Ramon Tikaram, Joshua McGuire and introducing Irish singer-songwriter Imelda May, in her debut acting role. However, accompanying the singing is a plot which has surface-level detail at best. They’re about to put out a second album, which Universal Music’s Leah Jordan ( Jade Anouka) is trying to help promote, while boss Jez Chandra ( Ramon Tikaram) is indifferent about them, during which Jim’s depression-led drinking doesn’t help matters and might just derail the whole project. The Fisherman's Friends sequel finally has a release date. The first film, which followed a group of shanty singers in Port Isaac, starring Daniel Mays, Tuppence Middleton and James Purefoy, was released in 2019.

However, I quite enjoyed the ‘media training’ session led by Petra ( Fiona Button), where the politically incorrect Leadville is shown the error of his ways, even if the entire group experience comes across like an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL charts the next instalment of the Fisherman’s Friends amazing and uplifting true‐story. Following the unexpected success of their debut album “No Hopers, Jokers and Rogues” we rejoin the world’s oldest ‘buoy band’ a year later struggling to navigate the pressures, pitfalls and temptations of their newfound fame. FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL follows the celebrated shanty singers through the highs and lows as lifelong friendships are put to the test and they battle the dreaded ‘curse of the second album’.

Also, there’s a very brief close-up on a boat labelled the Port Isaac Shuttle Service, the initials in capitals to highlight “PISS”. According to Latitude 50, there is a service by that name, but given that it’s for getting about the village, it sounds more like a road-based one rather than sea. FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL is released in cinemas nationwide by Entertainment Film Distributors on 2 nd September 2022. Daniel Mays, Tuppence Middleton and Noel Clarke will not be returning, despite appearing in the first film. The film about the real-life Cornish sea shanty group The Fisherman's Friends is set to return to the big screen in 2022.
