Felix Dexter plays multiple roles in this film but his best one is Jonah the landlord / hairdresser constantly talking about his 'Blasted wife !', and anything else that's irks or annoys him is also 'Blasted this or Blasted that' the scene where he cuts Martin Offiah's (The former Rugby League Professional) hair is absolutely hilarious. My girlfriend at the time I saw and recorded this film one late night on the BBC was Jamaican and said all the portrails of the characters were spot - on !, the line that made her laugh the most was when Jonah's character says "I'm not black...I am a dignified Nigerian !!"
My dad who died in April 2019 was a mechanic by trade and a hoarder of tools, especially hammers !, I found 49 of various sizes in his garage (Where he was at his happiest and spent many hours) we put a couple of wooden handled ones in his coffin as a kind of humorous acknowledgement and tribute, at his funeral we played 'If i had a hammer' by Trini Lopez, I don't particularly like the song...till I heard Johnny B Great's version in this film, I wish I'd known about it then as I'd much rather have had it played than the original, I looked Johnny up on the Web and was sad to read he died when he was only 44 in 1988, he was a very talented musician from everything I've seen written about him.
