Rebecca Topsom agreed to brave the marshes of Walthamstow to perform this monologue. She was my no.1 choice for the role – indeed I think I may have written the monologue especially with her in mind for the part. Her comic timing is excellent and she totally clicked with the vernacular of the character. It was as chilly as it looks. The wedding dress costume, incidentally, was a donation and was originally designed for Holly Hunter.

This film is, to date, the only film I’ve had broadcast. It was shown on Propeller TV – Sky Channel 195. It was really weird seeing it followed by an ad break!
