Why does Lol's dad do that heavy panting?


Lol's dad is so creepy anyway, but the heavy panting thing just makes him even weirder. I recall he was doing it in This is England 86, in the kitchen just before spurning his wife's attention.

What does it all mean?!

The dead find it hard to breath.

The funny thing is that he even did the heavy panting when he was alive.

I have no idea why he does that, but I gotta say every time I see him do it I burst out laughing.




Itchy's a Jerk..

My guess is that it's just to make him even more abhorrent. You can imagine that Lol relates the heavy breathing to her abuse as a kid.

He's a paedo. That's what they do.

I believed the heavy panting was brought on by a kind of panic attack, one of the symptoms of guilt ?
