Meet your Baker

Out on DVD today is The Baker – a comedy about a hitman who has second thoughts about his career and hides out from his boss by finding work as a baker in a rural Welsh village. In light of Fosters Bakery’s successes in recruiting ex-offenders, have we stumbled across an answer to the skills shortages? Filmed in Cardiff and Abergavenny, it’s described by ex-Band of Brothers lead actor Damian Lewis as “Waking Ned meets Grosse Pointe Blank” and also stars Michael Gambon.
