After more than five years in production and after having been shown in episodes during two previous editions of the World Wide Video Festival, there is finally an end to Frank’s adventures. For Frank, the nightmare is perhaps only just now beginning, for rock ‘n’ roll is dead and lager consumption has to increase. The burning British housing estates are being patrolled by heavily armed kids, while the rich in their electronically protected establishments console themselves with MTV. Could it be sadder? The once so proud and just as arrogant British Empire is on the brink of extinction. The return of the Sex Pistols can make no difference. These are a few impressions of parts 4 and 5 of ‘Work, rest and play’. What have you missed? Far too much to mention. This series is a dizzying road movie, as disturbing as it is ironic, about the end of analogue reality and the beginning of digital life at a burdened juncture of time. Fortunately there is enough to laugh about.
