The Hide
On the windswept Suffolk mudflats creaks a bird-hide, inside which hovers Roy Tunt, a prematurely aged, mildly obsessive-compulsive birder. With one more sighting - the elusive sociable plover - he will have 'twitched' the entire British List. Tunt has his shortwave radio, packed-lunch and a portrait of his ex-wife Sandra for company. Suddenly, in the midst of a conversation with Sandra's portrait, the hide door blows open and a bedraggled stranger - unshaven, edgy and bloodied introduces himself as Dave John, a fugitive from the storm. After a tense introduction, the two men discover that they have a good deal in common, sharing sandwiches, tea and personal exchanges which are frank, poignant and often funny. As the two men begin to form a close bond news of a police manhunt sets them both on edge driving their fragile relationship to a tragic conclusion.

Don't Seek
A film so terrible it resembles an ITV play, the sort of thing the beleaguered company might put on in a feeble attempt to attract an AB1 audience.

Worthy but overlong
A decent idea over-stretched. 'Tales Of The Unexpected' used to do this sort of thing equally well in half an hour. Alex MacQueen was as good as you'... read more »
