“Biscuits? Who the bloody hell do you think we are? Loose women? Biscuits are only for three things; funerals, kids parties and hospitals”

Back in his childhood home after several years, David finds himself realising he’s a lot more like his mum than he ever thought he was. While drinking whiskey, playing dominos, and dancing in the dining room, can they rekindle the mother and son love they once had back when he was just a little kid? 

Hold Me Close is a heartwarming northern comedy drama all about redemption and finding your feet again.

Written by Joseph Walsh (Pigeon- The Royal Exchange), Directed by Will Travis (Coronation Street), and starring Susan McArdle (Early Doors).
