While living rough on the streets of London’s late 1960s East End, a naïve young man, nicknamed Dink (a Milligan regular player, Berwick Kaler – Coronation Street, Boon, Red Riding), meets the attractive and peculiar Dee (Julie Shaw – the ‘Gateways Club’ scene in The Killing of Sister George and Peter Walker’s 1968 crime picture The Big Switch). Seemingly anxious about Dink’s welfare, she invites him to stay with her in her dingy rooftop flat at the top of 75 Commercial Street, E1. The two soon develop a sadomasochistic bizarre relationship that fluctuates, often without forewarning, between sexual familiarity, furious envy and hatred. As Dee’s compassion gives way to viciousness, the pair become obsessed by gloom and their relationship escalates out of control.
