 There is good use of little dialogue within the film, the screenplay having been written by Shelagh Delaney, and subtly amusing and poignant scenes such as this very much highlight and accurately capture the North-South divide, political and socio-economic, that is so obvious.After leaving Manchester, Bubbles drives to see his son Jack (Timothy Garland), and it becomes obvious that visits are few and far between.We are also introduced to his ex-wife Lotti (Billie Whitelaw), who is running a farm (bought by Bubbles) deep in the Derbyshire hills.
