When Robert Jamieson and Adrian Martin got in touch with me about recreating a scene from Trains Planes and Automobiles in the St John’s Hotel on Queens road in Hull I couldn’t say no especially when they said they were going to recreate the cuddle… between John Candy and Steve Martin

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a 1987 American comedy film written, produced and directed by John Hughes.

The film stars Steve Martin as Neal Page, a high-strung marketing executive, who meets Del Griffith, played by John Candy, an eternally optimistic, outgoing, overly talkative, and clumsy shower curtain ring salesman. They share a three-day odyssey of misadventures trying to get Neal home to Chicago from New York City in time for Thanksgiving with his family.
