A Bishop’s Castle Film Society Choice

Brian is a lonely inventor in rural Wales who spends his days building quirky, unconventional contraptions that seldom work. Undeterred by his lack of success, he soon attempts his biggest project yet. Using a washing machine and various spare parts, he invents Charles, an artificial intelligence robot that learns English from a dictionary and has an obsession with cabbages.

★★★★“A very British Robot Story -David Earl and Chris Hayward’s moving buddy comedy about a man who builds a companion in his shed has charm to spare.” The Guardian

★★★★ “Made with genuine affection and innately British whimsy, this is really just an odd-couple comedy about two lonely blokes — one of whom has a “washing machine for a tummy”. Empire
