The Last Bus (12a)

Director Gillies MacKinnon. Drama Life is a journey and The Last Bus takes our old soldier, 90-year.


A heart-warming tale of Tom, a pensioner whose wife, Mary, has just passed away, who travels from Britain's most Northerly point, John O'Groats, to his original home town at its most Southerly point, Land's End, using his free bus pass. He carries with him his wife's ashes in a small suitcase, travelling the length of the country to take her back home. Along the way, his adventures are recorded by the people he meets and helps, and by the end of his trip he has unwittingly become a social media celebrity.

Starring Timothy Spall, Phyllis Logan, Grace Calder

Excellent performance by Timothy Spall. Ending slightly confusing, but overall very enjoyable.

Sweet, gentle, emotive film- reminding us all to just get on with it- don't wait.

Good character acting by Timothy Spall - very moving.
