UK viewers have a chance to watch a repeat of the 2007 romantic comedy Learners starring David Tennant, Jessica Hynes, Sarah Hadland and Shaun Dingwall. The drama was written by Jessica Hynes who knew that David would be perfect as geeky driving instructor Chris after she guest starred with him in the Doctor Who two-parter Human Nature / The Family Of Blood.
Learners
This warm, bitter–sweet comedy drama, follows the trials and
tribulations of a group of learner drivers.
Bev (Jessica Hynes) is a downtrodden wife who's
failed her driving test eight times. She's desperate to pass yet frustrated at
her husband Ian's (Shaun Dingwall) impatient approach when teaching
her to drive.
When Bev meets glamorous driving school owner Fiona (Sarah
Hadland), she's determined to succeed, along with a group of other
learner drivers.
Chris (David Tennant), a devout Christian with
the patience of a saint, is assigned as her instructor and it's not long before
Bev develops a crush on him. However, Chris has feelings for Fiona, but she's
having an affair with a married man Gerry, who works with Bev.
