Tim spall is tom, who decides to go on a journey from northern scotland to the southern tip of england. With his bus pass. It's a simple travel diary of tom and the people he meets along the way. He looks like a grumpy old curmudgeon, but he's really a nice guy once you get to know him. Fun story, as long as you're willing to overlook a few pot hole and plot holes. It moves pretty slowly. But it moves. And we see all his interactions with his fellow countrymen, good and bad. And the farther he goes, the more famous he becomes. He has a certain wisdom that some of his fellow passengers can relate to. It's pretty good. It's not based on any true story, but it's still quite touching. Directed by gillies mackinnon. Story by joe ainsworth, who has done mostly television writing. Check out the profile pic for ainsworth ... as of today, it appears to be a wooden mannequin... or something. And tim spall currently has six films in production... and has been nominated for five baftas.
