Mail on Sunday, 24 February 2002, by George Galloway. "The troubled water which could sweep Blair away." ----------------------------------------------------------- [.....] Actor Anthony Head is the star of *Manchild*, the cruel but realistic tale of fortysomething men-about-town enjoying or enduring their second adolescence. The former Gold Blend man, who helps Buffy slay vampires in the cult TV series, seems to have it all. Solvent and single again, devilishly handsome, he pulls a cracker half his age on a powerful motorbike back to his place which is a coolly- renovated railway carriage. She strips off to reveal a firm, fine body decorated with a tattoo of a snake. But, when she goes for a closer look at his, it, er fails to rise to the occasion. Ah well, nae luck, Tony. So sad, too bad, never mind. You can't have everything. Cup of coffee? Anyway, as she was in the 16-24 age group, there was a very good chance her character was carrying a sexually transmitted disease. A new study by the Wellcome Trust shows that nearly 40 per cent of women in that age group have had up to nine partners in the last five years and that one in eight may be carrying an STD. And the year 2000 saw the largest number of newly- diagnosed HIV infections yet. So cheer, up, Tony, you probably had a lucky escape.
