He certainly doesn't like the country and has a strange fear of his cows who are, he says, packed with "bovine malice". Nicholas does not feel envy himself, but he is secretly addicted to the dark thrill of being envied by the poor saps who come to his "retreat". The film does justice to a recurring theme of Simmonds's: the unending and ferocious envy felt by writers for the greater success of other writers. "Mmm, I'd love one that colour," Casey replies. "This is a Buff Orpington," she says, showing a hen to the flummoxed Ben, "not good layers, of course – but they are decorative."Īll these grown-up actors are in danger of getting the scene stolen from under their noses by Jessica Barden and Charlotte Christie as Jody and Casey, the teenage girls who create mayhem for the hell of it, and who spend most of their time reading a celeb mag called Goss in the bus-shelter.
