This might have worked but for the utterly hopeless miscasting of Will, the would-be "straight-acting" footballer that nobody knows is gay. The actor, Pip Brignall, is clearly gay and almost anyone would pick it at 20 paces, if not the very moment he opens his mouth to speak. He also doesn't have a footballer's build or any of the likely mannerisms of your typical football club lad. So it's not even like he's superficially successful at playing the part. The other actor, Jo Weil, is at least hunky and does a reasonable job of pretending that Will is what the script says he is. Honestly, everyone involved should have done themselves a giant favour and called off the shoot if they couldn't find a more suitable actor.
