Loading ...Bill Nighy makes guest appearance in short Coping Strategies
Bill Nighy makes a guest appearance in ‘Coping Strategies’, a 26-minute black comedy film about a young man with learning disabilities, produced by Yarrow Housing Organisation’s Moment by Moment Theatre group.
The film tells the story of Shahid, a young man with learning disabilities, who breaks free from his doting mother for a new life of romance, independence and indulgence. However, the effects of the Ramadan fast on him and his obsessive and antisocial flatmates; Jerry and Wilson, conspire with the mysterious Paris Stilton, to drive him to distraction and a showdown worthy of his Bollywood Heroes.
The film stars Yarrow service users, staff, and supporters, and features a guest appearance by BAFTA Award winner Bill Nighy, who plays a social worker.
Yarrow exists to improve the quality of life for individuals with learning disabilities through the provision of care and support including innovative “day” opportunities and housing solutions.
Despite what the Independent is writing, according to Yarrow, Bill will not attend the screening of Coping Strategies tomorrow. But if you are in the London area, you have a chance to see Coping Strategies on the big screen in the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith. For tickets, please contact Yarrow.

The Independent has a very Nighy 5 minute interview with Bill which you can read here, here is a Nighy classic from the article:
A phrase I use far too often …
“You groove me out”, in almost any context. I can say it instead of goodbye, or if people say “I’ll meet you on the corner”. It’s post-modern, ironic jive talk.
Yes, he grooves us out too.
