With Felicity Montagu and Brian Bovell
Felicity Montagu, Johnny Vegas and Brian Bovell have joined the cast of sci-fi-comedy The Unreason.

Detectorists star Sophie Thompson had previously been announced as playing the jail-keeper of The Unreason: a hellish dimension where people and objects from throughout time become lost; with Tony Way playing an off-beat inventor who comes to the aid of the time-travellers.
