Description

Bereaved pensioner Tom (Timothy Spall) decides to carry his wife?s ashes from John O?Groats to Land?s End where they first met, using only his bus pass. Director Gillies MacKinnon (Hideous Kinky) and noted TV screenwriter Joe Ainsworth (Holby City) ensure that cantankerous Tom experiences bemusement and sympathy along the way. His determination to overcome Britain?s creaking public transport reflects his abiding love for his late spouse, played in flashback by Phyllis Logan (Downton Abbey ? both TV and film) but inevitably the success of the enterprise, in every sense, is a tribute to Spall who gives perhaps his best, most nuanced turn since Mr Turner or The Party.
