Press clippings
John Cleese's irascible headteacher is flattened by time's winged chariot in Christopher Morahan's slight, but achingly funny, comedy, scripted by Michael Frayn. Heading for a conference in Norwich, Brian boards the wrong train and is soon deep in a travel nightmare horribly familiar to rail users everywhere.
Paul Howlett, The Guardian, 5th June 2019Christopher Morahan obituary
Director and producer whose 60-year career spanned television, theatre and film - from The Jewel in the Crown to Pinter plays.
Michael Billington, The Guardian, 11th April 2017Review: Clockwise
Some of the 'coincidental' and 'repetitive' scenarios are a bit too much at times -- like the 'right / left gag' or the 'bumping into or missing someone by accident ploy'. Apart from that though - no - this movie is just great in my eyes.
