“There was a gap between our social position and our social obligations. It was in this gap that Miss Shepherd (in her van) was able to live.”

Talk about the neighbours, the type of people they are. Middle class, flaunt their mediocre achievements/ their children’s achievements. They patronise Ms Shepherd. Their real life counterparts pitched in to bring the lady in the van to the big screen. “liberal artsy types of the newly-gentrified neighbourhood”. “liberal, slightly guilty intellectuals.” “One very real benefit in the film is the communal humour that comes from the other street-dwellers of a pocket of London whose ostensible liberalism is tested by having this smelly old termagant in their midst.” The Lady in the Van Mary Shepherd/ Margaret Fairchild

“One seldom was able to do her a good turn without some thoughts of strangulation.” Writer/Concerned Neighbour

“There was one bit of me (often irritated and resentful) that had to deal with this unwelcome guest camped literally on my doorstep, but there was another bit of me that was amused by how cross this eccentric lodger made me and that took pleasure in Miss Shepherd’s absurdities and her outrageous demands.”

Character arc, main traits, motivation, his position in society, how his mother sees him, as opposed to how Miss Shepherd sees him, how his neighbours see him. They are all aspects of his personality What did Miss Shepherd teach you about the act of caring? “"It's about s - - -," because it's about cleaning up after people. And there was a lot of cleaning up to do over Ms. Shepherd.”

Conclusion of the film. Implicit/explicit meaning, maybe some film critic reviews? “And then as you get older it just ceases to matter.” ARTEFACT IDEAS ● Front of The Van
