Breaking The Bank is an amiably silly comedy

It plays a bit like Carry On Banking, but that's no bad thing, and there are some memorably snappy one-liners -- Charles works 24/7, meaning 24 hours a week, seven months a year.

Breaking the Bank review - fluffy financial sitcom

A good cast led by Kelsey Grammer lifts this comedy about banking, as an old-fashioned British firm falls foul of a shark-like US investor, out of the doldrums.

Kelsey Grammer sports a British accent in a light comedy that raps the knuckles of the banking community.
