ResumoThere's a line in What We Did On Our Holiday when Billy Connolly's character Gordy McLeod, an old man dying of an un-named cancer, turns to his officious young granddaughter and urges her to stop writing in her journal. “Some things don't look very good written down”, he tells her, in his lusciously Glaswegian accent. Sadly, the opposite was probably true of this film. On paper it must have looked great: made by the people behind BBC's successful sitcom Outnumbered, it would tell the tale of three precocious, wise-cracking kids and their hapless parents as they travel to Scotland to visit their dying grandfather. En-route, hijinks and capers would occur, leaving the audience with an emotional yet uplifting tale of a young family dealing with death.
