Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA light comedy drama that includes elements of a public information film. Six minutes at the start of the film are used to describe the transition at Dover from lift-on/lift-off to ro-ro car ferries. Other safe driving topics include use of zebra crossings, use of GB plates for driving on the continual, roundabouts and refreshment break.
- GoofsAt the beginning of the film the sports car used by the two girls is not the same car as that used by them at the end of the film. Even though they both share the same vehicle registration number.
- Quotes
Tom Lester: Wait a minute! Do you realise what those girls have got that we haven't?
Reggie Ramsbottom: I can think of a lot of things.
Tom Lester: On their car!
Featured review
Remembering when crossing the channel was an adventure
This is a 40 minute short where 2 men pursue 2 neighbours in a bid to meet them and share their holiday in France.It has some silly voices by Spike Milligan which are more irritating than funny.This film is more of nostalgic interest in what it was like in those pre sat nav and motorway days to go down to Dover.The AA map is shown it was a direction booklet which took you step by step through the route in the same way as a sat nav.The A2 then was just a single lane each way road passing through some rather attractive Kentish scenery.There were restaurants and café s that you could stop in for a time.The process of boarding a ferry seems to be a fairly relaxed affair.Nice spacious café and shops area,with hardly any people and a petrol station which looks like something out of the thirties it is so streamlined.Contrast this with today!So for that reason if nothing else I found this film of interest.
