2009. A one-off 60-minute comedy drama about two young people with Down's syndrome who run away to get married at Gretna Green. Honky Tonk's plot follows Henry and Michelle, two 20-somethings who are in love and spend their days at a centre for disabled adults. Henry is assured while at the centre, but overwhelmed by shyness in other situations and self-conscious about how his voice sounds to strangers, hence the title. Michelle is largely kept away from the outside world by her parents, so she and Henry decide to head to Scotland to marry. Developed by BBC Vision. Producer: Hilary Salmon. Director: Tom Harper. Writer: Jack Thorne.
