Synopsis:Charlie and Hannah are expecting a child and are happy and excited about it. Unfortunately, due to the fact that they’re both underage, their parents aren’t. Deciding that their only option is to run away, they head for the canal, where they throw themselves apon the mercy of “The Captain”; an eccentric sort of a man with a dog on a narrow boat, whom they persuade to take them to Manchester and a new life. The Captain’s attempts to contact and reassure the kid’s families backfire, leaving those at home with the unfortunate impression that they have been kidnapped by terrorists. A chase between barge and mopeds ensues, culminating in a barge-pole wedding and a few home truths.
