Synopsis

The Graduate meets Harold and Maude in this rites-of-passage comedy with yet another dreary school holiday coming around for the shy and downtrodden Ben (Rupert Grint). Seventeen years of living in an absurdly conservative and traditional household with his highly-strung and overbearing mother (Laura Linney) and quiet, mild-mannered vicar father have taken their toll on young Ben. While the other kids are out having fun, Ben spends these precious few weeks attending Bible classes, having driving lessons with his mother and helping out at a local old people's home.

However, Ben's world is turned upside down when he's employed by an eccentric retired actress Evie (Julie Walters). Vulgar, dignified and childish all at once, she certainly is not the kind of person Ben expected when searching through the job listings in the stuffy parish magazine, Hello Jesus. Evie enters Ben's life with a cataclysmic force, whisking him away on a series of adventures from camping to performing Shakespeare in the garden, to attending the Edinburgh Festival - where he finally meets a girl much nearer his own age.

Evie's unconventional and often downright bizarre behaviour challenges Ben's beliefs, and forces him to confront the very idea of who he wants to be. Then, when it seems that his new-found freedom is about to be taken away, Ben has to suddenly choose: should he continue to conform, or break out and live his life as his own man?

Driving Lessons is a heartfelt, touching and positively hilarious look at the effect one delightfully eccentric older woman can have on a young man with a lot to learn.

Synopsis

Scalleum is a remote farming island off the north coast of Wales, accessible only at low tide via a causeway know as the 'Devil's Spine'. The island is also home to an ancient stone circle known as 'Devil's Teeth'. This provides the sinister setting for the terrifying alien abduction of local farm girl Cat Williams and her hitchhiker boyfriend Angelo Jones.
 
'Weird Worlde' is a cable television programme that's having trouble with its ratings. Threatened with losing her job if things don't improve, presenter Michelle Fox needs to come up with something special. She puts a team together to investigate the 'Scalleum Incident'. It's an intriguing story with a twist, as Cat Williams claims not only to have been abducted by aliens but also impregnated by them. Hence the cynical television crew, accompanied by actors to stage a dramatic reconstruction and UFO expert Gavin Gorman, head off to the island. They arrive and experience the weirdness of this remote community, a farm powered by manure and some very twisted Welsh farmers.
 
The television crew doesn't believe a word of Cat's story, but Michelle will do anything to save her job even if she has to fake a little evidence. Tensions rise and things are about to come to a head when - the real stars arrive. They're aliens, and they aren't friendly.
