As we previously reported, Badly Drawn Boy has finished work on a soundtrack to the Brit TV comedy/drama film, “The Fattest Man In Britain.” Starring Timothy Spall and Bobby Ball, the film is “inspired by real events” and follows a man aiming for the fattest man in Britain title (Spall) and the sleazy agent who is helping him cash in (Ball). The film is set to air in the UK on ITV1 on December 20th and will hit DVD on December 28th.
Thankfully for Damon Gough, his soundtrack to the film will be released under the much more appealing title “Is There Nothing We Could Do?,” and is set to hit shops in the UK on December 14th. The cover art (above) and tracklisting (below) have been revealed:
1. Opening Theme
