include Clare, a wheelchair-bound crime writer; Wally, a shady
mini-cab driver; Terry, a stripper; and coppers PC Digby and
WPC Jackson. |
| BSG Review: |
Despite a script showing much promise, "All
Night Long" raised few laughs, coming across as a weird
blend of dark comedy and straight humour. Many found the criminal
side of things too dark to find funny. |
