Seven Days Of Us

For the next seven days, no one can leave the house and no one can enter.

For fans of David Nicholls and Richard Curtis movies, this is an observational, tender and heart-warming drama about the trials and tribulations of spending a week with your family at Christmas.

The utterly brilliant, life-affirming Christmas story for fans of One Day. Also the Radio 2 Bookclub pick for Christmas.

For the next seven days, no one can leave the house and no one can enter.

One of whom is about to come knocking at their door...
