On BBC2 tonight.

What a film. Know Brighton pretty well, nice to see some locations I know well in their former glory.


Great cast as well. Don't make em like that anymore.

Bit of useless trivia for you. I auditioned for the Phil Daniels role in that movie.

Thank God I didn't get it, because he did such a fabulous job of it.

Here’s a back story I haven’t heard! How far did you get? Have you been in stuff I/we might’ve seen?

Oh, yeah, I did. THAT was definitely me.

I doubt it. I have been in some terrible, terrible movies.

You know there is low budget and then low, low budget....well think under that.

Bloody brilliant!
I mean I think I realised you had some connections with film making etc but being in actual movies! Love it.
Anything that made it to Cinema release?

No just someone who can’t stand the who and Phil Daniels riding his moped round Brighton with a bit of ham acting from Sting

Sting was indeed hammy, but I still really liked the film.

As for the Who, I think their early 60's stuff was so much better than the late 60's and then 70's stuff.

Loved that film and the Music - more of a Rocker me but had a couple of field SX 150s - 20 years ago we watched a play / musical version of Quadraphenia at the Apollo in Cov - was brilliant , the band was excellent - we ahd a meal early in the restaurant and Pete Townsend walked in to eat before the performance - i got up to go and say probably just gibberish to one of my music heroes but got shot down by his minder who blocked off part of the restaurant - he was big !!

Wow, you neary took Lesie Ash up the ally

That's a cracking story Otis - I guess there must have been a clique of actors around that time who were getting these kind of roles. One guy who I liked was Daniel Peacock, don't think he ever made it big, but seen him in bit parts in lots of films/TV in the 80s.

Hope you had a blast though mate, always nice to do something you enjoy.
