D. M. THOMAS

The face, few decades
in the past, which

looks at us with barely

contained anger and rage, is

that of an East End gangster

living in Costa del Sol.

We have tracked him down,

he wants to know why.

It is an improvement.

Earlier we encounter him

as some kind of mildly masked

Mister Hyde, with portruding

jaw and forehead which

tell of a make-up done with

limited budget and talent.

So very 1970s TV.

Always between his
fingers the symbol
of death.
