St Swithun’s Church in the village of Bathford, near Bath, has ruled that the real-life British caper is just too rude for the elderly congregation.

Disgruntled locals took to the community Facebook group to express their annoyance, complaining the film wasn’t ‘Anne of Green Gables enough’. One resident asked what they were going to show instead, suggesting: ‘The Exorcist?’ Community group member Christine Parkhouse wrote that ‘it is a funny movie’, even though ‘every other word is a swear word’. And Peter Farkas asked: ‘What’s wrong with a bit of swearing?’, adding that people didn’t need to attend if they found ‘a bit of blue language’ offensive.
