Wickham Road
Synopsis
Bobby MacDowell, the youngest of three, looks back on the last two weeks of normality in his childhood - the last two weeks before his mum became ill. Trouble is, his sister seems to be constantly shagging yet another new boyfriend, and his brother seems to have some hair-brained scheme to reveal the identity of a newspaper editor. And not one of the kids has time to listen to their mum.
Wicham Road is a humourous and heart-warming story of a family: a fast paced and quick-witted slice of life in which the MacDowells, have lived in a kind of limbo for the past ten years, are finally forced to face the future.
