Ruth Jones stars as Hattie Jacques, star of the world-renowned Carry On films, in a true-life comedy drama about a very English love triangle and a celebration of an extraordinary comedy icon.

Thanks to the success of the Carry On films, actress Hattie Jacques was famous for playing ‘fat and funny’ characters. However behind closed doors, Hattie became the star in her very own scandal when--in the middle of filming Carry On Cabby--she began a passionate affair with her handsome young chauffeur, John Schofield (Aidan Turner), while she was still married to Dad's Army actor John Le Mesurier (Robert Bathurst).

Set in the bohemian world of 60s London, Hattie shows that, despite the matronly roles she played on screen, the real Hattie enjoyed an adventurous and passionate love life--risking everything to pursue the man of her dreams.
