Synopsis
A day trip to Blackpool to see the lights, a harmless break from the routine for a mini-bus full of women from the Asian's Women's Centre. It all seems innocent enough but as the mini-bus trundles along to a Punjabi rendition of Cliff Richard's 'Summer Holiday', problems quickly become apparent.
