Hi all A quick nerdy note - I've just noticed a weird coincidence about Shane Meadow's latest flick "Dead Man's Shoes" - the two main characters in the film, Richard and Anthony, are both performed by actors who have played/will be playing Rob Gretton on film.

Paddy Considine played Gretton in 24HPP, and the fellow who plays his younger, slightly-mental brother is Toby Kebbell, who is playing Rob in Control. Weird, eh? Details are here at IMDB

Cheers then CTB :bear:

It's a wicked and very nasty film, not for the squeamish. Top stuff if you like psychos. Was only on Channel 4 a couple of weeks back.

Yeah, it's alright - pretty unpleasant subject, but well done. Now where's me 40 quid?

You wanna be axed to death by Christian Bale with Sussudio playing on the stereo?

A further twist, wasn't there some bloke who used to turn up at the Hacienda claiming to be wearing Curtis' shoes?
