ScreenPlay: Road (BBC, 1987)

"Everyone's worried sick for you, you know. You can't just do this!"

"Why not?"

"Oh, come on. We all feel like this some time. But life must go on."

"Why?"

Cartwright speaks glowingly of Clarke as a collaborator #and it's not hard to see why: his restlessly prowling steadicam moving from derelict house to derelict house allows Road to fulfil its #destiny as wandering theatre‚ something the stage could never quite achieve. a fierce polemic on thatcherite britain and the aching poverty #and waste of a ruined generation. not that this is pure naturalism: a few minutes in Andrew Wilde‚ having tormented his sister‚ turns to #the camera and screams and suddenly you know you're not watching just any old kitchen sink drama‚ this is something different‚ this is some #kind of primal howl. two sinister young men dress in sharp suits ready for a night out; two young girls argue with their respective family #members; an older man reminisces hopelessly about times past; a young man is starving himself to death in a condemned house. and in the #dead centre‚ Lesley Sharp delivers one of the most devastating‚ affecting monologues ever written‚ as she stalks the desolate streets and #tries to keep herself from going mad with the grief and the horror and the pointlessness of it all. tv was a medium created for such scenes

079 Shotgun Dave Rides East (2003)

Another missing project can be marked FOUND thanks to kitt66 who made it possible! All hail kitt66!

This is a short that clocks in a eight minutes plus another ninety seconds of outtakes (keep watching past the end credits.) As is often the case with the shorts, because Peter is a (or the) main character he actually gets more (and better) screen time than in many of the full length films he’s been in.

And luckily for us, this conforms to that pattern. Even though there are people in the background, this is basically a two-hander between Tim Dantay as Dave -- who is just out of prison and anxious to start on a rather peculiar canoe trip that would definitely NOT be advisable in today’s political climate -- and Peter as Rob who is more anxious to stay at home in Doncaster in his ridiculously flattering jeans and grey-cord pea coat (and extremely familiar wedding ring that changes hands at one point) and collect his giro so he can drink all the Stone’s Bitter and not even have to THINK about swans.

There is dialogue, so it isn’t a silent, but there’s really only enough dialogue to establish that Tim is from Manchester and Rob is most definitely Scottish. But who needs dialogue when you have a face to make expressions?
