No More Groundhog Day

Synopsis:
It started one Friday in the bar. I saw Billy, at the end of the night, turn and smile, then slowly put on his overcoat. I didn't say a word. Kept it to myself. I thought that's the way to play it. Say nowt and then you don't get yourself into any bother. I might say something I'll regret. Like when a man and woman have an argument, you side with one or the other and the next thing you know you're cut off their Christmas card list. I could see that in Billy. I had seen him do the same movement week-after-week. When I got home, I thought this is just like my favourite film, Groundhog Day.' You know, with Bill Murray and Andie McDowell, when one day is repeated over and over.

Synopsis:
Set on Tyneside in the mid-1990`s `When I Need You` is a comedy Drama set to the music of the times. From Bath to Newcastle, we journey into the heart and soul of a north-east couple, Jeff and Rachel, who meet in 1977, fall in love and marry.
