Episode 157 - McVicar (1980)

 

Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism 

 

 

This week, an episode that has been eleven years in the making. 

At last, our dear friend Maurice, host of See Hear and Love That Album joins Scott and Steven via Skype from Melbourne

Also joining us are Scott's co hosts from The Stinking Pause podcast, Paul and Charlie

A word of warning, Scott has manged to bleep out most of the profanity... but this episode is still a little bit sweary!

 

McVicar (1980)

 

 

John McVicar (Roger Daltrey) is an English career criminal locked up with all the other lifers in the dreaded E Wing of Durham Prison. Between riots and constant prison guard brutality, McVicar and fellow inmate Walter Probyn (Adam Faith) gradually dig a tunnel that enables their escape. Once on the outside, McVicar does his best to lie low and re-enter the lives of his wife (Cheryl Campbell) and infant son, despite the fact that police have labeled him "Public Enemy Number One."

 

"I suppose you think you got the better of us there. But just remember, kidder, you're in for ten years."

"Yeah, that's right, Mr. Pendel. But you're in for life, ain't yer?"
