Teenage Kicks - Vernon goes to work
Friday, 4 April 2008
The divorce has been finalized and Vernon has received a whopping great bill from his divorce solicitors. Unfortunately for Vernon, the bill has been passed on to Mad Frankie's Debt Collection Agency.
No one will lend him the money, and as bricks start to fly through the windows from Frankie, reminding him of his fate, Vernon has to do the unthinkable - he has to go out to work.
After getting a job as a cycle courier, a dog walker, a lollypop man, a sperm donor, a pizza delivery boy, a drug tester and a burger flipper Vernon manages to get some money together, but will it be enough to stop Mad Frankie resorting to a bit of leg breaking?
Meet Vernon: a switched on, plugged in, super cool kinda guy; an ex front man of a rock and roll punk band that lived and breathed anarchy at every turn. At least that's what he'd have you believe. Unfortunately for Vernon, this couldn't be further from the truth.
Spectacularly nasty divorce
Following a spectacularly nasty divorce, Vernon (Adrian Edmondson) moves in with his teenage kids.
A rebel in his youth (or so he thinks), he is genuinely excited about living in their student flat, seeing this new found freedom as an opportunity to 'get down with the kids' and be young and reckless again.
Vernon has spent the last two decades living off his high-flying wife while spending vast quantities of his time in a comfy pub in the wild, party capital that is Godalming. Now he's back in the real world: free, with no ties and no responsibilities.
OK, he's alone, unemployable, and the local kids keep nicking the wheels off his car but these are just minor set backs. At least now he can rekindle the embers of his glorious youth and be as hedonistic, as irresponsible and as selfish and idle as his kids.
Naturally, his kids, Max (Ed Coleman) and Milly (Laura Aikman), and their flatmate David (Jonathan Chan-Pensley), are mortified.
