Nat's mother Suki suspects that Nat may not want to pass her driving test. Stars Samantha Spiro and Alison Steadman.
Nat is determined to pass her driving test but her mother Suki suspects that at some subconscious level, she may not want to pass...
Nat, a harassed middle-aged teacher, who sees her life rapidly drifting away from her, is desperate to pass her driving test on the anniversary of her father's death.
It is his money that has helped pay for her instruction.
Ken, her much older driving instructor, has understandable doubts about his pupil's chances. But he also finds himself increasingly drawn to his client.
Their unlikely friendship develops over the course of Nat's final week before her test - despite, or perhaps because of, the distractions provided by Nat's needy and larger-than-life mother, Suki.
Christopher William Hill's comedy drama is about driving lessons, dominant mothers and unexpected friendships.
