Soft Top Hard Shoulder

Peter Capaldi wrote the screenplay and stars in that rarest of subgenres - the British road movie - tearing up the M1 in his clapped out Triumph Herald convertible at speeds in excess of 40 miles per hour. It's a race against the clock as a whole bunch of wacky characters keep getting in his way. Will he make it back home to Glasgow in time to claim his share of the family fortune? Or will he be left crying on the hard shoulder? (Plumeria Pictures)
