Am i missing something? This is so NOT funny.. I waited for something funny to happen,but it never came.This is 3:31 i'll never get back,made worse by the time i spent typing this.
"money isn't everything when you're in love, is it Candice-Marie?"
"No, Keith"
Keith's a strangely likeable egotistical monster in the line of David Brent or Mr G from Summer Heights High, so I think there are still people trying to show people as they are on TV even today.
"D'you have a girlfriend, Ray? ..." Why does that come across as nastily accusatory? Very clever.
if i went out with keith if i was candice marie i would throw him off the cliff in dorset with his fossils nuts in may a brilliant film i never laughed so much keith was so neurotic mike leigh you are brilliant love junysawrus
I remember watching this when it was first shown on television and it is ageless, there are so many contradictory, paradoxical socially inept people like this around. I live next door to a Keith and a Candice-Marie.
Saw this film for the first time last year. It's brilliant. "Ray" is an excellent actor in this scene. It's like a fly-on-the-wall documentary. I cringe with him every time!
Mike Leigh was so good at showing us the anguish his characters go through when they're put upon by others.
Here we see two apparently educated people with varied lofty beliefs & interests yet they just can't see a complete stranger doesn't want to sing 'I want to go to the Zoo I do, I want to go to the zoo'.
I've always looked out for a Nuts in May calender, people would buy it if it was available.
Watched this a couple of months ago with my husband and two sons. My eldest son nearly passed out laughing, makes you Cringe but you cant look away its Mesmorising Stuff lol
Same era, same atmosphere. No naked Bardot body doubles, though. I love the 70s. It's hard not to - from the TV to the bands, it was our last attempt at honesty.
I've loved this film for years - well done the Beeb for repeating it and for the recent box set of Mike Leigh's tv work. Totally toe-curling - just watch the anguish on Ray's face as he's dragged through this song. I'm sure we've all come across a Keith Pratt at some time or other.
this is hilarious!!!! hahahaha
