This scene is just so brilliant. It’s perfect. It literally has everything. And by everything, I mean ‘nothing’.
I love all the bland details so much. In fact, I’ve watched this five times in a row, and each time the viewing experience is exactly the same. Ahhh….lovely and bland.
Tell me your ‘favourite’ bit. Mine is the name ‘Dr Henderson’.

My 2 favourite bits are:
1. Where she says “I came down from New.. erm Kirby”
2. When she says 'let's get down to business then' and I thought that they were finally all going to get thier kit off and go at it. It IS that kind of video right?
McThrills, spills and bland aches….
The doctor scarily resembles head vampire Max from The Lost Boys. Just watch the wryness when he finds out her husband is a big fella.
Pauline has me sold. I truely believed that when she was going to get those papers because that doctor REALLY needed them.
I have an overwhelming urge to get papers myself now.. I MUST HAVE THOSE PAPERS!!
My favourite bit is the area on the sex pest doctor's left sideburn, beneath the arm of his glasses, where his black felt tip pen ran out.
“He's turned up dead at your house.” Brilliant.
I'm sure she could be perfectly cast in something or other as someone who really gets on characters' nerves just by being herself. Her portrayal is eminently believable…
I like the man in glasses who took 'Steven Dean'. I'm not sure if he knows it's not real.
If you think of the first scene as the Doctor trying to chat the Nurse up, them my fav moment is they way he reacts to her telling him she has a husband. He gets all flustered and mumbles his lines, there is a beat and he just says “well, to business”
Back luck Mr strangely black haired Doctor.
“He's turned up dead… at your house.”
Doctor Henderson is clearly heartbroken, you can tell in the double take involving her husband, a bit of filly from Yorkshire was just what he wrote on his prescription pad too.
Wowza, the tension that it builds throughout is amazing. I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen (Ok granted I had no clue what was happening) I think the best bit is the deep and emotional storyline coupled with the amazing acting.
When is the DVD released?

I love the fact that she has to mention her husband is “Quite big”
First reaction: What the holy fucking fuck is this? Seriously, what IS this?
Is this a showreel for an actress? If so, why does the camera stay on the doctor so long? Why is the sound so bad? Why did they hire a camera man on LSD? The “actress” appears so weirdly real — which is to say, she looks really uncomfortable in front of the camera, and has the manner of someone who just wants to get back to her day job.
Then it cuts to another scene that plays out like an uncomfortable documentary. In fact, if it wasn't for the doctor in the first scene, the Clive Owen wannabe in the second scene, the absurd dialogue, and the cameraman trying desperately to prove he should be shooting Bad Boys III, I would have said it WAS a documentary.
Please, Robert, tell me what I've just watched… it's bending my mind.
None of us will ever know…
I love that bit too!
Shame that didn't happen…
You have to see the Murderer's showreel – if this was even remotely improvised (and the consistency of the narrative suggests it was) we're dealing with a sociopathic serial killer [ http://tinyurl.com/ylbq9ks ]
I like the 'Steven Dean from Enfield' moment
The most extraordinary moment is his awful, awkward, spluttering (“errr errr yes errmm”) when she tells him that her husband is “quite a big man”. What on earth is going through his mind?
“new face in the race…may I say a very pretty one at that.” Why doesn't she run off at that moment? I also quite like the fact that creepydoctor's glasses aren't straight. Actually, his eyebrows aren't straight either. Maybe it's filmed on an uneven floor…
Is Pauline Mason a long lost relative of Perry?
My favourite bit is the emphasis she puts on the word 'still'. I think it's that word, anyway, and I would go back and check, but I worry I might go insane if I watch it again.
Go on – watch it again.
my favourite bit is when the second interrogator is slowly introduced at 1:31 over pauline's shoulder as the camera draws back. he looks like he has a far larger role to play. he's almost looking in tunnel vision…glazed over…ready to pounce with acting.
My favorite lines are: “and he turned up dead at your house.” How does he manage to die and then make his way to his house?
Also: “My husband is a big man” and he responds with a very odd “Oh hmmmmm yes”
haha – have a look at the Peter Ameri one. He's just as good at acting as Pauline and she pops up in his showreel too.
I Reels the gift that keeps on giving.
Maybe it's just me but when the doctor–or the lewd guy in the white coat to you and me–is talking about a patient and says 'I want to know whats going on with this….' he looks like hes going to say the word 'bastard' but then says 'chappy'! Surely calling a patient who's just had 'a massive heart attack' a bastard is against the hippocratic oath??
