Fantastic. Enjoyed "The Planet" loved "One Day Removals"

Well I know its maybe a bit much to give it 10 as nobody's perfect, but they don't do 9.9! I do think that "One day Removals" is excellent, coming from Aberdeen myself and being brought up in "tcheuchter" country (Inverurie). I fully appreciated the Doric and Aberdeenshire accents in the film. Great to see some fantastic shots of Aberdeen and lesser known areas surrounding Aberdeen. The plot is fantastic, a simple idea made brilliant by great comedy acting by all members of the cast especially Patrick and Scott. Two guys struggling by to make a living, end up in a bit of bother when their first job of the day goes a little wrong when an accident leaves them with a "package" to dispose of. With one thing going wrong after another you cant help but feel sorry for them but laugh at the same time! Thoroughly enjoyable by all adults who don't mind a "bittie O' sweerin" (or a lot of swearing which is acceptable as it makes the North East Doric sound that much more authentic. Another great film by Stirton Productions!
