Fast Freddie, The Widow and Me
2011, 90 minutes
one-off festive drama
The plot follows Jonathan Donald, whose brash, cocky car dealer is found guilty of drink driving charges. Donald is given community service as punishment and ends up working for 60 hours at The Moonbeam Club, a support group for adults with social and behavioural difficulties, run by widow Laura Cooper. He is initially sent away from the Club by Cooper, but after being forced to return by a judge, he gets to know 18-year-old Freddie Copeland, who is unlikely to live for another year because of kidney disease and a heart condition.
