Last Rites
Prismark1017 March 2021
Dennis and Neville befriend a dying old man at the hospital when they take Bomber to the accident and emergency ward.

Hedley Irwin is originally from Darlington and has not been back to Britain since 1946. He was thrown out of the British army for fraternising with a German woman that he went on to marry.

When Hedley dies, the lads have a whip wound to take Hedley's body to England for burial.

Oz goes out of his way to raise the funds. The others not realising that he plans to use Hedley's casket to bring in some German hardcore porn to sell in Britain. A plan he wanted others in the hut to invest in.

It is only when Wayne makes a trip to London and looks up Hedley's sister. He finds out the truth about the errant Hedley.

There were some nice quirky bits. Barry and Moxey sunbathing in the building site to get a bit of a tan. Oz's barking get rich quick scheme.

Jimmy Nail has a bigger role to play here and his is also away from Dennis and Neville. His thick Geordie accent is not only more evident, being away from the other two, it also highlights some of the shortcomings in his acting.
