Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant write and direct this nostalgic coming-of-age comedy set in 1970s Reading. Three 20-something friends work together at the local building society and spend their free time larking about, drinking, fighting and chasing girls. While smooth-talking ladies' man Bruce (Tom Hughes) and lovable loser Snork (Jack Doolan) are satisfied with their lives, Freddie (Christian Cooke) harbours dreams of escaping his working-class background. When he gets a new job as a door-to-door salesman and is reunited with his childhood sweetheart Julie (Felicity Jones), Freddie is forced to make important choices about his future.
