A tender and funny story about wanting to go back - when you know it's time to move on • Theo has been living in his parents' shed, nursing a broken heart and a wounded ego, convinced life can't get any worse. Then he gets evicted on his 30th birthday.

But can the promise they once made to walk all 184 miles of the Thames Path help them find their way back to the truth - and to their friendship?

After the hardships of World War II, the 1950s were the perfect opportunity to resume normal boring everyday life. Lots of new things came in: TV in people's homes, Andy Pandy, The Archers, American imports such as 'the teenager', Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe. Cartoonist Tony Husband transports you back to a lost world of free school milk, beatniks and teddy boys, men in homemade jumpers who smoked pipes and Saturday morning cinema for the kids. It's guaranteed to make you laugh
