Not only seen it, but was in it !, 20 May 2003
Author: philip.lander from London

Made in the Summer of 78 an odd film with a great soundtrack. Meant to be the follow on from 'Scum' A young man (Ray Winstone) leaves prison and travels down to Torquay for work, meets a girl, and enters a swimming race, and that's about it really.

I was living in Torquay when it was made, and with a mate followed the crew around and generally annoyed them while they were filming. Managed to get in a couple of scenes, that's me and Pete standing on the shore throwing stones into the water about half way through, real method stuff! Paid £5 for our troubles. The only time I have ever seen it was on a warm night in 1983, onboard a Frigate in the West Indies, It was projected from a 16mm print onto the hanger doors as we all sat on the flight deck. Worth seeing for the soundtrack, and us on the beach of course.
