  • Vince is a writer who suddenly decides to visit his old college friend Matt (who knows more than a bit about map-reading) to join him on an expedition. They both set off to walk the Roman road from Chichester to London, but it doesn't take long for it to become apparent that they're being chased by a mystery man in a fast car. It seems Vince has something in his backpack that someone wants very badly indeed

    Very enjoyable, and funny, english film. Very surprised, and delighted, to see James Larkin in it who I haven't ever seen act and was a really good friend of an ex-boyfriend of mine back in the 80's.

    What a great surprise ! Super film ! I was looking for a Jonathan Creek episode and came across this.........a much younger JC and a really refreshing film. Simple, no nonsense with great acting from Alan, John Gordon-Sinclair and Anna Chancellor. I really loved the scene where Anna karate kicked the villain, and put him in a lock on the floor. Just fabulous !

    I broke My Collar Bone on Stane Street (Ashtead) when I was a youngster.
    Cycling accident whilst descending a hill leading to the 30 Acre Barn.
    And My Significant Other’s Ashes are spread at Bankside Pier, next to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London.

      @@douglaswilliams1979 Talk about going off at tangent with no literary compass. Best work on creative composition, spelling & grammar before you get anywhere near a publisher. Definitely don't self publish, vanity publishing is the downfall of many. Do you ever punctuate?

    Alan Davies "Vince" leads this tiresome trek. "Bancroft" is a teacher is duped to backpack from Chichester to London. There's talk of Samuel Pepys' diary, there's even hints of Roman Legion history, yet alas there's nothing as grand. "Vince" has researched a book for ten years, if this was the result then we've all been taken for a ride.

    Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!"
    Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
    Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
    Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
    Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
    Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
    Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
    Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
