Donovan Quick

One-off drama inspired by Cervantes' classic Don Quixote, starring Colin Firth as a mysterious, well-spoken stranger who transforms the lives of a family and their community. The Pannicks are more than a little dysfunctional : Lucy drinks, her son steals cars and her grandmother forgets to put her clothes on. To make matters worse, her mentally disabled brother Sandy isn't able to attend day centre because of changes to the local bus route : so enigmatic lodger Donovan Quick sets up his own rival service and galvanises the community to fight back against uncaring transport bigwigs. But before long, the family begin to suspect their heroic lodger of hiding something. Also starring Katy Murphy, Liz Smith, David O'Hara, David Westhead and Paul Doonan
