Boy you can give me a shine
(Can you afford to board, the Chattanooga Choo Choo?)”

Track 29 (, 1988), written by and based on his Schmoedipus, and produced by 's HandMade Films. A young man (very fresh-faced Gary Oldman) who suddenly appears in a middle-aged woman's (Roeg regular Theresa Russell) life may be the son she gave once gave up for adoption. Of course, tensions ensue, not in the least caused by husband Christopher Lloyd's vast model train collection.

Just rewatched . I was working in London once & bumped into my Aunt - a producer on Radio 4 at the time - in Liverpool St Station. We met for dinner at an Italian restaurant behind Broadcasting House next night, & Dennis Potter was sat at the next table.
