Hide AdPenned by Ulster writer Colin Bateman, this dramatisation of the events precedes the historic 2006 St Andrews Agreement.
The Journey is a fictional account of the negotiations between the two political adversaries that transpired, not in some hallowed hall but, rather, in a minivan traversing the Scottish countryside.
The charismatic Meaney and Spall embody these two contentious political figures as real live people, with all their tics and foibles – and show us how these mortal enemies came to see each other’s human sides.
