I enjoyed Harry's answer, but none of the above is right. Cardinal R is nearest.

I thought I posted a clue here earlier, but evidently I didn't. It's not Brazil; the clue is that it's a country that features in the fourth film (released recently) in a famous series of films.

Thank you sir. Sorry about the delay chaps.

Nice double answer!

Yes, it was the Blair Witch Project, which earned 10,000 quid for every pound spent.

Over to you Mr 2.

okay an isty-bisty bonus clue:

he wouldn't have released as Paul Heaton but might have included his middle name (David) which would have made it qualify.

Is it that they all contain at least one of every vowel?

I'm happy to say I was thinking that before reading your bonus clue which seemed a good confirmation of my suspicion.
