One Day Removals is a comedy film set in Aberdeen and around Aberdeenshire and tells the sorrowful tale of two inept removal men, Andy and Ronnie. They work for Andy Removals and bump into a fellow Aberdonian. Then the screaming begins which will have the audience rolling with laughter as the removal loons face an unusual delivery of death, destruction and an unpaid bill by Mrs Thelma Patterson on the 14 May for her husband and his use of the Andy Removals van.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

One Day Removals started as a 30 minute comedy film several years ago. Then writer and producer, Mark Stirton, rewrote the script and filmed it in HD (High Definition) equipment that could be transferred to 35mm film. Special effects were added to the film so that the newly named One Day Removals could be generally released throughout the UK. Aberdeen businessman Ken Fraser so loved previous films by Mark Stirton such as Removals and The Planet that he invested into helping Mark Stirton make his dream come true of seeing his film having a United Kingdom general release. Read more about Mark Stirton and his science fiction blockbuster The Planet which was filmed in Balmedie Beach at the AboutAberdeen review on The Planet page.
The World premiere of One Day Removals will take place at the 16th Raindance International Film Festival which will be held in the West End of London in October 2008. DVDs of One Day Removals will soon be available to buy directly from Stirton Productions.
In October 2008 One Day Removals was nominated for the British Independent Film Raindance Award with the awards ceremony taking place on the 30 November 2008.
Actors
One Day Removals has a strong Aberdeen cast and their hard work and professional acting skills will be honoured with a premiere screening in the Granite City at one of the cinemas in January or February 2008 before the UK wide release in February 2008.
The Doric dialect was kept in One Day Removals and not softened down for the UK release. Nor were subtitles used. For a guide to the Doric dialect and Scottish words and phrases visit the AboutAberdeen.com Doric page.
Patrick Wight
Many of the actors from The Planet star in One Day Removals and this includes actor and comedian Patrick Wight who plays Andy. Many an Aberdonian will remember him as Patrice the hairdresser to the Stars from his many cabaret nights around Aberdeen pubs and clubs and on Northsound Radio. Read more about him on the AboutAberdeen Patrick Wight page.
Scott Ironside
Scott Ironside plays the other removal man, Ronnie, and he is an experienced stage and TV actor, having appeared in Taggart and Scott has made theatre productions worldwide.

John Hewitt
Aberdeen Football Club Dons legend John Hewitt makes a guest appearance in One Day Removals as the jury foreman. John Hewitt delivers the verdict on the two delivery men. Aberdonians may fondly remember John Hewitt for scoring the winning goal against Real Madrid during the European Cup in 1983 in Gothenburg.
Those from Aberdeen or who have visiting the Granite City who watch One Day Removals will be familiar with many of the scenes. Filming took place around Stockethill, Garthdee and Tillydrone.
The photo of One Day Removals at the top of this About Aberdeen page shows the writer and producer Mark Stirton with Pat Wight and Dons legend John Hewitt at Aberdeen Court. Rather than using the real Aberdeen Court the film makers used the Aberdeen Business School to film the court scenes.

Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

F Word
One Day Removals by Mark Stirton is making waves not just because it is a Doric film but because it has set an all new record for the number of F words used throughout the movie. The Daily Record Scottish newspaper counted over 320 F words during its screening review. This makes One Day Removals the most Scottish made film to use the F word the most, more than other films that are heavy on swear words such as Sweet Sixteen by Ken Loach and even more that comic Martin Lawrence Live performances. One Day Removals even beats war films and gangster movies such as Tigerland, Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas and Scarface which are traditionally laden with naughty words. Even Gordon Ramsay of the F Word would blush!
