Where's a flock when you need one?

One of seven, count 'em, seven Burberry films directed by Rubberband (Jason Sondock and Simon Davis), 'The Quilt' stars Olivia Colman as she drives through the countryside on a crisp autumn day. It's not Burberry on her brain, however—it's blackberries.

She tells someone on the phone about a dream where she misses a train because she's too distracted by blackberries. She struggles to get any sleep, as a result, and neither meditation nor white noise help. "I'm just very tired!" she says with a manic lilt, ready to count sheep if that's what it takes.

Sure enough, a flock of wool blocks the road ahead and forces her to get out of her Range Rover Classic. Not one to look a gift sheep in the mouth, she starts to count in a way that makes you hope this is what Colman does on her days off. Heritage and humour in peculiar harmony.
