Victoria Wood's musical comedy stars Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton and is set in the Manchester of 1929 and 1969. The film is based on the musical which was commissioned by The Manchester International Festival.

'Tubby' Baker and secretary Enid are among those who are meeting for a televised reunion at the Manchester Free Trade Hall, where thirty years earlier as school children they were part of the choir who made a record of 'Nymphs and Shepherds, Come Away.' 

As the event unfolds, Tubby comes to believe that perhaps should take a leaf out of his determined younger self's book. Should he be bold and make his feelings for Enid clear?
