Song of The Day : WARREN ZEVON - WEREWOLVES OF LONDON | from RAIN DOGS by Cash Carraway staring Daisy May Cooper

 I spotted this in the soundtrack of new Daisy May Cooper’s extraordinary latest acting tour de force in Cash Carroway’s offering in ‘Rain Dogs’ (music references abounding) . . . . . . .

Fleur Daisy and Jack enjoying a whirl! Why wouldn’t you?

My burgeoning premise that there’s nothing on TV anymore is a dangerous one! How did I manage to miss family favourite Daisy May Cooper’s latest acting foray, the darkly comic (very dark! yummy!) Cash Carroway’s Rain Dogs. Binge watched a few last night and am hooked! 

Starring a cameo Ade Edmundson as an elderly pervert (type cast much?), Daisy May’s borderline homeless character living on her wits and t*ts (dancing pole dancer cum cleaner sex worker!) is amazing. Opposite her fellow actors the stellar brilliance of Jack Farthing (Poldark baddy Warleggan and those of you who remember PG Wodehouse excellent Blandings ‘Freddie’) is a treat and guest appearance from Karl Pilkington!(?)! And where do they get these amazing child actors from with newcomer Fleur Tashjian as daughter Iris is yet another star in the making. Daisy May does it again. What’s not to love?!

It is little short of brilliant! Nothing could quite be further from This Country but nothing wrong with that. Not for the nervous or smaller eyes no doubt! I was originally put off by the stealing of the Tom Waits title Rain Dogs but I get it now* and cannot wait to carry on!  Spoiler alert - the third episode got even darker still!

Watch it soon!!

or maybe you prefer it LIVE!

*According to 1985 interviews, Tom Waits saw the phrase "Rain Dogs" as a metaphor for lost human beings, people in pain with no sense of direction.
