Alice Lowe and Steve Oram get ushered in to our little press room in a whirlwind of PR reps and a constant hum of best-friend banter between the two. They sit, still jesting with each other, without barely even noticing the interview has begun
; a constant level of laughter is the stand-out feature throughout. In fine fettle after their minutes-ago win for the BIFA 2012
Best Screenplay award, Alice answers most of the questions, constantly looking to Steve for reference and amusing back-up. Behind that particularly impressive home-grown beard, Steve's face lights up when conversation of it and his heritage are discussed, along with illegalities of dog bottom-licking. (You really need to see this film.)
Sightseers is easily summed up as a 'pitch black comedy' death-trip which focuses on the developing relationship between the two leads, Tina [Alice Lowe] and Chris [Steve Oram]. Throw in some scenes of Cumbria hills, cute dog and a caravan, you have a quintessentially perfect English film that you can see America attempting to remake in the not-too-distant future.
