Gregory's Girl Synopsis - Gregory's Girl is set in Scotland and centres around Gregory, a lanky lad in his final years at school. He is also a goalkeeper (and a not very good one at that) in the school football team. When a new girl, Dorothy, has a trial for the football team there is obvious resistance, but when she turns out to be the best player she becomes very popular indeed, not least with Gregory who is smitten with her and does what he can to try and get a date with her. To this end he tries to find out from everyone how he should go about the whole "Girl" thing. But his romantic skills are on a par with his goalkeeping skills. Unexpectedly, he receives news that Dorothy has agreed to go on a date with him, so on a warm summers evening he sets out in his best clothes to pick up his date, but things don't go quite as he had envisaged.
