What Would Helen Mirren Do?

Synopsis:
Susan is a long-term supermarket checkout operator from Oldham. She's never had to give much thought to role models until she gets promoted and is forced to adopt one. Oscar-winning actress and international star Helen Mirren is an unlikely choice, but once Susan starts seeing life through Helen's eyes, there's no going back to sitting on Baskets Only.
