When farmer Ben Singleton (Ian Holm) faces a strike by the Transport and General Workers Union, he decides to walk his 500 plumped up gaggle of geese to the Christmas Smithfield Market in London, just as they did in medieval times. He persuades his wife (Penelope Wilton), daughter, and two loyal workers to undertake the one hundred-mile trek to the Capital which becomes fraught with peril and humour. However by the time Singleton is only halfway there, he has become a national hero, something he has neither sort nor desired, thanks to a film crew who are more content on telling their own story rather than the truth.
The screenplay by actor Brian Glover harks back affectionately to the Ealing Comedies of the 1940’ and 50’s with it battle of the small man against the stupidity of the bureaucrats and the media.
