Only seen it once,on tv. in 1992. Alexie Sayle stars as ritblatt, a hitch hiker who only travels by this means of transportation,in his quest to reach Colchester. He is dropped off at a small roundabout in a small ghost town and proceeds to make himself a crude shelter on the roundabout and keeps local residents awake with is portable radio, whilst waiting for the next lift to come his way. He has a positive affect on the cold,unimaginitve and bored local inhabitants who begin to worship him. He eventually gets his lift,but its not going to Colchester. Would love to own it on video,but its been long since deleted. I live and hope!

I stumbled across 'Itch on TV in the early 90s while sitting at home with a friend. We were about to flick to another channel and saw Alexi Sayle so watched the whole thing. At first we thought it a little weird but stuck with it. In the end we were laughing so hard it hurt! I now have this on video now after years of searching.... Every time I watch it I see something else to make me laugh :-) All the people I have watched it with have been amused, even the ones that don't like Alexi Sayle's TV appearances.
Such a little know film, shame. So many people have missed out! I thoroughly recommend watching it.
