General:	Meanwhile is the last film participation of Sir ALan Bates and is endorsed by Sir John Mills. Sir Alan had accepted a role but was unable to play it due to the cancer he had which was in it's later stages. He was very eager to take part and provided a eulogy voice over for the pivotal funeral scene. Meanwhile has been doing the rounds on video copies for people to view and has had a very enthusiastic response. It has been seen in New York, London, Northern UK, Sweden and South Africa - all viewers have connected with the universal themes of first love, loss, friendship, family and moving to a strange environment.
Synopsis:	Darren and Gary re-unite for the funeral of a mutual friend. It's been four years since they've seen each other but they fall quickly back into familiarity, largely assisted by the amount of drink they consume. Gary talks of his life and job in London. Darren, still living in the same town, proves to be an eager audience, finding new confidence and enthusiasm. In the lead up to the funeral, they visit old haunts and the friends who still inhabit them. Gary also makes contact with his ex-girlfriend, who is now married and living a day-to-day existence. Their meeting again after all this time re-kindles old feelings but leads him along an un-expected, troublesome path. It doesn't take long before he and the timid, easily led Darren find themselves in trouble - enough to make Darren find the idea of life in London rather enticing. And, they still have to make it to the funeral....
