Giving this 5 stars because no one else has.
Definitely didn't need the cast list at the beginning to know that Timothy Spall would play Vic!
I mean, I loved it.
Not really sure what Vic and Char were hired to do (Check in on Rex's place? but why would Roy hire them and not Rex?) and I'm also not sure what Rock's major malfunction was or what the point of the play was at all, but, as always with Mike Leigh's work, those types of details are rarely the point.

A bit shite. Not the worst thing I've ever read though.
