Work is well underway on the sequel to hit Netflix movie Bank of Dave, which follows the exploits of real-life Lancastrian Dave Fishwick. The businessman shot to fame in the aftermath of the financial crisis after taking on the banking fatcats, and winning.
The Bank of Dave follows the life story of the entrepreneur who took on the finance industry to open his own community-based lender in his hometown of Burnley, and rallied against many banks in the wake of the 2008 crisis."I chatted to Netflix and said, 'look, I'll only do it if we can do it in Burnley at the places where everything was done', and they loved that idea," he said.
According to Netflix, Bank of Dave: The Sequel is based on a "true-ish story". Two years after founding Britain’s very first community bank, Dave Fishwick, who is played by Rory Kinnear, takes on an even more dangerous and formidable opponent than the big banks – Payday Loan Companies.
