The Lads On Tour

The Lads On Tour: Based On A True Holiday, or simply The Lads On Tour, is a British coming-of-age comedy film. The film follows the misadventures of four best friends on holiday in Spain after their final year at school together.

Based On A True Holiday
The film is, as the title implies, based on a true holiday that took place in 2025 although most of it was exaggerated or fictionalised for the film. A documentary called The Lads On Tour: The True Holiday was released on YouTube, it used real footage from the holiday to tell the true story. It was hosted by Brandon Lund, Charlie Gaunt, Oakley Mitty and Ollie Mayor (Referred to as Oliver Le Marie in the film and documentary.)

Release
The film was submitted to the BBFC for review in 2033 and received an 18 rating. In 2034, it was cut down and re-submitted where it received a 15 rating. The 15-rated version was played in cinemas in 2035 to mark the 10th anniversary of the holiday the film was based on.

Home Media
The film was released on DVD, Blu-Ray, and digital marketplaces in the UK and North America in 2036 with two versions, the Producer's Cut and the Director's Cut. The Producer's Cut was an extended version of the theatrical release but still kept a 15 rating. The Director's Cut was the original version of the film that was given an 18 rating, all Director's Cut Blu-Rays feature both versions.

Lost version
In 2040, the Blu-Ray was reissued with a version of the film previously lost. Filmed in 2029, the "lost version" is very similar to the Director's Cut but features unused scenes and different dialogue. Most of the film was stolen from the set by an unknown thief and leaked online as "deleted scenes" in 2037. After three years of finding the full movie, Lundistribution released the previously lost version of the film as a bonus feature on the Blu-Ray and a shortened version is available on the DVD.
