Trivia In the segment "The Family Man", written by David Williamson and directed by David Baker, the extras in the bar were largely made up of my sixth form class at a nearby school. We heard about the film being made at a nearby goal, so we all wagged school and spent the afternoon drinking beer and watching Jack Thompson doing his thing. The head teacher eventually turned up but realised he couldn't do anything to get us to leave, so we stayed and had a great time. Spot the schoolboys! See more »
