Skipton-born poet, novelist and journalist Blake Morrison returns to Yorkshire to introduce the film of his best-selling memoir And When Did You Last See Your Father? The book is a tender, vivid, unsentimental tribute to a larger than life character which created an entire genre of autobiographical works. The film, starring Colin Firth, Jim Broadbent and Juliet Stevenson, is a classic British bittersweet comedy that faithfully recreates a lost era.

After the film, Blake will be signing copies of his books. ‘Anand Tucker achieves the near-impossible by delivering a movie that is as engrossing and emotionally powerful as Morrison’s book. It is a film likely to strike a chord in almost everybody’ (Evening Standard)
