The spoken word parts were written by Jon Slade of Huggy Bear and Comet Gain. It seems to be a tale of disillusionment with London, and especially the 'fashionistas' and hangers on of various scenes. Julie Birchill is a columnist and writer who you might have expected to see at music industry/magazine parties and launches in London in the late nineties. |

In 'This Sportin Life' Margaret Hammond is the landlady of a young rugby player called Frank Machin. He's spotted by a scout and gets to play for a professional side. His money and fame goes to his head and he's fallen in love with Margaret, who is still mourning her husband who died in an industrial accident. She throws him out after he tells her that her husband probably killed himself, and she has a brain haemorrhage and dies in hospital in the penultimate scene of the film.
Rachel Roberts who played Margaret Hammond won a BAFTA and was nominated for an Oscar for the role. |
