It's currently unavailable to rent or stream, so now is the time to watch the movie.

Our TV movie pick for tonight (Wednesday, 13 May) is The Spin, the 2025 Irish road-trip comedy.

The film follows Dermot (Brenock O’Connor, Game of Thrones) and Elvis (Owen Colgan, Hardy Bucks), two music lovers who run a struggling record shop in Omagh, Northern Ireland.

Facing an unpaid rent bill and their vicious landlord, Sadie (Derry Girls’ Tara Lynne O’Neill), who’s eager to get them out of her building, the pair stumble across a deal too good to be true: rare, vintage records of blues legend Robert Johnson for sale in Cork at a knock-down price.

"If they can make it to the other end of Ireland in time, then maybe they could get the rare vinyl and save the shop," the plot synopsis adds.

The Spin is based upon a semi-autobiographical short story by Omagh music star Mark McCausland, who also provides the movie's folk soundtrack.

Alongside O'Connor, Colgan and O'Neill, the film also features the Pussycat Dolls' Kimberley Wyatt and Maura Higgins (of Love Island and I'm A Celeb fame), with the latter making her feature-length acting debut.

This is alongside cameos from Irish music royalty such as Barry Devlin (Horslips) and Steve Wickham (The Waterboys).

The Spin is airing on BBC One tonight at 10.40pm. It's currently unavailable to rent or stream, so now is the time to watch the movie.
