This spoof soap opera, compete with unrealistic sets and sensationalist dialogue, originally appeared as a series of sketches on Victoria Wood's television show 'As Seen on TV', with absurd storylines that lampoon the whole soap opera genre. Featuring performances from Wood herself, as well as Celia Imrie and long-term collaborator Julie Walters, the sketches are here brought together in one volume.

Ed Speleers stars in this British horror directed by Paul Hyett. As young ticket inspector Joe (Speleers) prepares to embark on his final journey of the day on the 23.59 train to Eastborough, the motley crew of passengers on board do their best to make his job even harder. When the train comes to a sudden stop in the middle of nowhere, the driver announces that they have hit something on the track. As he goes out to investigate the scene, Joe and the passengers become increasingly uneasy when the driver fails to return. When they hear a strange howling sound coming from the woods, the unlikely group realise that they must work together if they ever want to make it home...
