CLUBLAND
by Gary Couzens

Jeannie (Brenda Blethyn) married an Aussie, John Dwight (Frankie J. Holden), a one-hit-wonder country singer. She left England for Sydney when she married him. Now divorced, with her sons Tim (Khan Chittenden) and the mentally-disabled Mark (Richard Wilson) in their early twenties, she tries to re-establish her career as a stand-up comedian while making ends meet in a catering job. Then Tim finds love in the shape of Jill (Emma Booth)…
Written by Keith Thompson, Clubland (which was released in the USA under the title Introducing the Dwights) is a comedy-drama that has its flaws, but it's a cut above most others of its type.
