Citazioni
[Wayne has been screwing Julian's wife Susy when he was supposed to have been building a conservatory for Julian]
Julian Wyatt: [to Wayne] If you give enough chimpanzees enough wood and glass, eventually one of them will build a conservatory. If only the same could be said of you, Wayne, you muscle-bound twat. I don't have to discuss my domestic affairs with you, even if you *are* the luckless sod who's been screwing my wife - most recently. If that cow wants to talk to me, put a halter on her and bring her round here.

Great Characters

I'ts a shame that ITV haven't produced a DVD of this film. It is a personal favourite of my wife and I. The characters are all 'likeable' in strange and differing ways. Warren Clarke's Vernon (or Ver - NON) as Oscar refers to him, is truly miserable virtually throughout the entire film but is strangely likeable. Neil Pearson's Julian (Oscar - Julie-ANN) is wonderfully dry-witted and sarcastic, struggling to persuade his wife to stop spending. Oscar (Robert Daws) is probably the most comically likeable of the three pub 'customers' and his constant jibing of his compatriotes is great - his interaction with his son is also entertaing. Perhaps the most 'wooden' character is the pub landlord, Colin, (Oscar -- 'Col-LEEN') played by Nick Berry..

As previously mentioned, the comedy is rather black but the film wouldn't 'work' if it was less-so.
