April in Paris has redundant builder Al and fed up Bet trapped in a ‘couldn’t care less’ marriage. He spends his days in his garden shed while she enters magazine competitions. They are ordinary Yorkshire folk who live a quiet life and this is their first experience abroad. Come with them as they try to fathom their way through the French cuisine, the Metro and the French phrase book. The winning of a weekend in Paris might hint at rekindling romance but the reality is hardly that. It is more of a reawakening, a chance to look at themselves, with just a hint that things might get better. Al and Bet are two fabulous characters and the experiences they share throughout are hilarious, especially the "Cafe Trocadero" scene.
