. I am 74 years young and have been working in the theatre for most of my life starting as a member of the Manx Ballet Company when I was 11 - we took London by storm in that same year. Since then many things have happened and I am happy to say that I am working - there seems to be a great need for older people in film, television and commercial work.(see credits page)

Bridson also gives a terrifying performance as Martin's mother. Her contempt and disregard for him is perhaps more disturbing than anything else in the film, and is a clear indication of why Martin's sanity took a rain check.

The humour of the first film isn't entirely absent here, lodged mainly in the early scenes between Martin and his overbearing mother. She blames him for the abuse he suffered at the hands of his dad ('it's your fault your father's in prison!') and their scenes together -- nightmarish kitchen sink sequences set in a dingy London flat -- are blackly hilarious.
