... decided to make a film with these two very funny men. 'Wilt' concerns Henry Wilt (Griff Rhys Jones), a bored English teacher who is accused of the murder of his wife when she goes missing after a party when they have an argument. The film is based on a 1976 novel by Tom Sharpe and it is made by London Weekend Television (whatever happened to them?). There is lots of unnecessary uses of the 'F' word, presumably to shock the 80's audience who saw it and to make you feel uncomfortable if you were watching it with your pare...more

***Movie*** Henry Wilt (Griff Rhys Jones) is a plain, boring Liberal Studies teacher at his local college. His career is going nowhere as his boss dislikes him and so keeps on turning him over for promotion on top of this his domineering wife constantly henpecks at him. Henry who has an oft fatalistic view of life fantasises about killing his wife in a gruesome way. One evening whilst at a party with his wife, Eva (Alison Steadman) he is humiliated by one of her old school friends, Sally (Diana Quick), when she ties him to a blow up doll called Angelique.
