Only Son
Short Film (Full Length) – 2010
Let them know you’re keen early on, then never let up, always smile, and touch them as much as possible in public (but never on their tits).
– Dad (Ian Gordon) provides some romance advice to his only son
You knew she was going to dump the shit out of you. She was way out of your league. Try dropping down a race: somebody new to the country?
– More useful advice from Dad (Ian Gordon)
I miss Ian. He was a beautiful man. Such an interesting human in terms of how his mind worked, and so innately hilarious even if he didn’t always realise it. He loved to be on set playing silly buggers with us.– Co-creator Jarrod Holt pays tribute to actor Ian Gordon
