The first trailer has been released to promote the new British film featuring I, Daniel Blake star, stand-up comedian Dave Johns.

The cast also includes Sue Johnston (Downton Abbey), Lindsey Coulson (EastEnders), Julian Sands (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), Jason Flemyng (Snatch), Stephen Tompkinson (Wild At Heart), Michael Socha (This Is England) and Scroobius Pip (Taboo).
