Trivia

Martin Clunes took the role specifically to subvert his 'nice guy' image; he based Len on men he'd observed in rural pubs who never left.

Insight

Bartlett wrote this between 'Cock' and 'Doctor Foster'—it's his exploration of masculine failure where violence isn't an option, only suffocation.
