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?

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.
