stop where his mates are to pick him up, the train
doesn't stop. Neil and Pandora walk around one of
Northern England's premier seaside towns as he frets
over the utter chaos his marriage day has turned out
to be and tries to get back All the while, Pandora
is going on carnival rides and just generally moping
around listening to Abba's Dancing Queen. In the end,
Neil gets back, discovers what an utter cow he was
going to marry and heads north to be with Pandora.
Comments:
Sweet,
funny, memorable. This one-off TV movie is one of
my all-time favourite films. Scarborough has never
looked more romantic and beautiful. Mayall and Bonham-Carter
deliver thoughtful, subtle performances and have real
chemistry. Above all, this story is simply pleasurable,
each scene unashamedly romantic. I love this movie
and watch it when I'm down. It's an old fashioned
romance for modern people who wish real life could
just be a little nicer.
