I love living in Brighton

But when the train goes a bit wrong it can be right miserable. In the spirit of being a citizen reporter here is my shock expose of the 8.06 from London Victoria.

This journey should take about an hour. There was points trouble at Haywards Heath.


A hour and a half in. This woman opposite me who we shall know as woman X is displaying signs of discomfort because the gang of women dressed as school girls who are out on an aborted hen night are screeching at all the men.
"He gave us a wink!" one shouts
"I'll give him a wank!" another shouts
" I like the Grandad's!" squeals one at a pensioner from first class.
Points to the women who remained at the top of their jolly game for the whole journey



Two hours in this man eats the posh pudding he had bought to share with his partner. He phones to apologize. Then eats both pots. Society is breaking down

two and a half hours in Woman X mutters "Oh No" this will be the only thing she says all journey

At Haywards Heath the train stops. The Hen girls spill onto the platform singing and mingle with gangs of drunk men. The buses that were promised are not there. Haywards Heath is full of commuters looking confused. All around me new friends are being made as people organize and grab taxis. Its all going a bit last helecopter out of Saigon.
The Buses arrive and hundreds of people fight to get on. Its going to take an hour to get to Brighton. I manage to get on board a double decker. Its full of drunken students singing football songs. They dont know the words and they sing a song for each team in the UK. Which is surely against the spirit of it.
i left london at 8.06 and arrived home 12.06. I am Benjamin Wheatley and this is my story.

scary doll

Pie Chi

Big Steve doing some Pie Chi. You can see the camera wobble because the camera man is pissing himself laughing. We had a good two days at victoria park filming all sorts of stuff like this.

This was our second attempt at shooting this after the first shoot was a total washout. It was quite a number this one. James Thompson and his art department commandos had a lot of Ikea furniture to assemble and place in Black park. A favorite for filming as its near Pinewood. Modern Toss series one was shot round there. I had a bit of steadycam to play with and then we topped it off with a load of fart noises! hurrah.
Heres the strip which inspired it by monkeon.

ive copied it here as i couldnd work out a way to link it. Monkeon's site is worth a look. its brilliant.
