The reviewers said it would be pants (bloomers?) and so it was in the main. I went to see it because I’m a sucker for costume-drama feminism. And really, if the story had been told as it should have been, I would have been appalled, moved... something other than bored and slightly irritated.
The new film Three and Out is a comedy about a London Underground driver who suffers two “one unders” — people throwing themselves under his train — and then deliberately goes for a third in order to get a pay off. Here a Workers’ Liberty member who drives trains on the mainline and was previously a Tube driver, and experienced a “one under” himself, responds.
