I've watched this many times - Chris Morris manages to convey the complete and utter estrangement of Anthony from his wife and by extension the whole of society in under three minutes. An astonishing piece of television. And Amelia Bullmore is excellent in this too. Why is she not on our screens more often?

There is sadness, melancholy, comedy and even beauty in this. Wistful I believe is the word that best describes this sketch. This, together with Suicide with an Escape Clause, are proof Chris Morris doesn't make comedy sketches, he makes beautiful cinema.

Must be about six months ago I, moved out of the house and started living outside. The idea came from a book I was reading I think, can't be err, quite sure about that but um, if you think about it we don't really need central heating, big kitchens, rugs, huge beds, its all, nonsense. (Well we don't need them but they're jolly nice) Well they're useless really. ... I can sleep anywhere I want now I can sleep under a hedge or err, in the tractor shed. (It does worry me when it is awfully cold). Cattle.... Sitting down with the cattle that keeps you warm. (At least then you get a little bit of heat. I do, worry when I know Anthony is out in the open on a particularly bleak night; rain, sleet). ... There is quite a lot of food in the kitchen garden. Some stuff around the bins. A blackbird flew into the greenhouse the other day and I er, picked him off. He didn't taste too great I must say. (We're having lamb tonight) Sometimes I have to fight the cats for food. (Richards bringing Helen for supper tonight). But err, the dogs pretty loyal. (Blocked off that draft in the drawing room; it's awfully snug now). ... I must admit I do occasionally, find myself staring in through the, drawing room window rather wishfully looking at the cosy scene there, big fire (yes), the family, all together. (You're quite a pretty sorry sight out there really). I, sort of think all I have to do is walk in through the front door and I could have a nice hot bath, and err, a big plate of eggs, some tea, (Hmm, why don't you come in tonight darling) Can't really indulge that sort of thought, its uhm, dangerously persuasive. (Just for an hour or so) ... I think that's the main, problem actually is, living with that contradiction. Ahh, the only comfort is that I don't suppose, I'll have to live with it quite so long. (Mmm). I imagine being picked off by a sharp frost in the winter. (I am afraid that is probably true). Though I suppose if I did go inside I err, wouldn't have to live with it at all really. (I never lock up at night you know) Tsk. Just doesn't bear thinking about. ... And you should lock up. --- Chris Morris transcribed

A while ago the idea struck me that she might actually be dead. Aside from right at the end when the camera has gone black and he responds directly to something she said, he never really acknowledges her. Perhaps she died and he wasn't able to cope with being in the house without her, struggling with all the memories of how she made it warm and comforting; now he just wants to disappear into the landscape and die as well.

This sort of sketch really highlights the sense of almost puritan self denial that is inherent in a lot of Morris's work...the disdain for comforts and things as ultimately meaningless and the people that hanker after them as brainless parasites, yet desiring them yourself.
