Director's Commentary

Tragically, I can't remember whether the local paper we used to get was actually called the Harringay Advertiser or not, but it was certainly something along those lines. The personal ads were always the funniest (as they are in any paper. Apparently even the Financial Times has some good ones...). I do seem to remember one of them which read: "Older voluptuous woman of African decent seeks younger, slim, white male, for fun." Although this would make most people shudder in itself, just imagine if you completely turned that advert on it's head: "Older portly white man, seeks younger, slim, black girl for fun." And then we see the real goosebumps rise.

I was talking to a friend about the whole "Landlords taking a week to show up" thing, and we came to the conclusion that it was because legally, they have to give a weeks notice (in hindsight it might actually only be 24 hours) before they show up at your house. Maybe they don't realise that that doesn't apply if they've actually been invited....
