It also imagined that the far-Right leader Marine Le Pen was the president of France and had declared a state of emergency . But last night it emerged that the production company that made it had received EU funding to translate the film and dub it into different languages , so it can be shown in various member states . Eurosceptic MPs accused the BBC of showing ‘ EU propaganda ’ . Brian Binley , a Tory backbencher , said : ‘ I think it ’ s disgraceful . Here is the EU Commission propagating itself throughout Europe . That is simply unacceptable . It is not a governing institution ’ s job to use taxpayers ’ money to perpetuate itself . It is not the job of the commissioners who run the EU budget to perpetrate their vision. ’ The 75-minute film presented an apocalyptic vision of what would happen if the EU ( pictured at the EU leaders at the 2014 Wales Nato Summit_ were to fall apart . The film , presented by journalist Bill Emmott , starred comedian Angus Deayton as an archaeologist explaining the single currency to a young girl on an aeroplane heading for Berlin , after the collapse of the EU and the abolition of the euro . Mr Deayton laid out – with ‘ flashbacks ’ to 2014 – the reasons for the EU break-up . The film ’ s production company , Springshot Productions , said it was depicting ‘ a Europe that is sleepwalking towards disaster ’ , and claimed the film showed that the EU was ‘ well worth saving ’ . It created ‘ a unique , choral portrait of the European dream and how it could be lost forever ’ . Director Annalisa Piras , an Italian journalist , said it would be shown on a ‘ Europe-wide tour ’ of universities . But Ukip MP Mark Reckless , who appeared in a panel discussion with Mr Emmott after last night ’ s programme , said he had confirmed EU funding was used to make the film . Mr Reckless said : ‘ I asked him if he had received any EU money for it when we appeared on the panel together , and he said they had – for translation into different languages . Political monopoly : The film imagined an army of Islamic State terrorists advancing on Vienna , Spain cutting off all routes to Gibraltar and the Prime Minister of ‘ Great England ’ – Nigel Farage –sending all immigrants home . ‘ I thought he might be a bit sheepish but he admitted it to me quite openly . I think he also put in some of his own money and they had other sources of funding for other elements of the film. ’ Last night on Twitter , Mr Emmott said the production company had received ‘ EU top-up for language versions ’ . He said the BBC itself had not received any money from the EU for this programme . However , it has previously been reported that the BBC has received some £22million over a seven-year period from the EU ’ s communications budget . A BBC spokesman said : ‘ No EU money was used in the making of the programme being aired on the BBC . Impartiality is of paramount importance for the BBC . This fictional programme reflects the author ’ s vision . ’
The Great European Disaster Movie showed a vision of future if EU ended . It warned a break up would have ‘ catastrophic consequences for all of us ’ But it emerged the production company had received EU funding for film . Funds will be used to translate it to be shown in various member states .
