  • Alfie is waiting. Waiting, and waiting and waiting. The title of this episode is taken from Macbeth. The full quote is:

    Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player

    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

    And then is heard no more. It is a tale

    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
