		Mick, in one of the inevitable stripy jumpers knitted for him by the ladies of his fan club, filled the stage; no reference to his size but to the slides he showed which spread right over the cyclorama.
		Some of Mick’s favourite experiences were going up in the helicopter, a jealously guarded privilege, or as second-best the basket of the tall crane.

	'The Caretaker' and the 'point' of laughter
		Aston, with a neutral imperturbability that promotes our laughter even further, refuses to comply and calmly repeats himself, ‘Yes, I saw him have a go at you.’ Davies’s only recourse is to recall his personal standards to bolster his present judgments: ‘All them toe-rags, mate, got the manners of pigs.
		Aston refers to the ‘piles of papers’ he was shown as medical evidence: Davies refers to the ‘piles of papers’ kept in the attic.
		Mick’s character—tough, sardonic, worldly-wise—is similar to that of the people in the café and the factory who found Aston ‘funny’ and were instrumental in having him put away.

	The Caretaker: NYTheatre.com Review
		Into this muddle, Aston brings an old man who says his name is Jenkins (though he'll admit later that his real name is Davies), a rootless and rotting old reprobate with a gift for gab and a highly developed survival instinct.
		Aston has apparently felt sorry for this fellow, finding him on the receiving end of some blows at a nearby shop; and so he's brought him in for some warmth and, as he reveals later on, temporary shelter.
		Mick has a job and other responsibilities, but he owns the house and he cares for his brother; bullying Davies (perhaps in hopes of getting Davies to bully Aston), he too signs the old man on as caretaker.

	Dramatic Silences and Eloquences in Pinter and Stoppard
		Mick seeing Davies, an outsider to the family territory, verbally attacks him through his repetitive questions, his long speeches full of jargon that Davies would never heard of, perhaps even the spectator would not know (The Caretaker 36).
		Aston, compared to Mick and Davies does not speak a lot but whenever he does his remarks are to the point, his words are never wasted, he never makes linguistic errors.
		At times, in his conversations with Aston, Davies just to appear as if he is in agreement accepts what Aston tells him as is the case in their exchange of ideas about the Buddha statue and the concept of the caretaker.

		It's an appropriate mole hole for sad, befuddled Aston, who thinks he's good with his hands, tinkers constantly with a screwdriver and dreams about building a shed in the yard that he periodically observes through the grimy back window.
		Aston is sparing with words, usually speaking in a quiet monotone -- until he produces a long, moving reminiscence of being shut away in a mental institution and given electroshock therapy.
		Mick is prone to great, nonsensical gushes of speech, shouted questions and irrational leaps of logic.

		As Mick, the builder-landlord who refuses to turn against his wounded brother, Rupert Graves is less witty than the original Alan Bates (also filmed alongside Pleasence).
		Graves also turns Mick into a convincing version of an historic type the good-looking working-class boy on the make in the social and economic flux of the early 1960s.
		Though Aston's generosity and trust are both betrayed, they are also obscurely rewarded; the struggle with Davies had a galvanising effect, and it is Aston, roused from near-catatonic stupor, who finally forces Davies to leave.

		A few minutes later I could see Mick was talking to someone else, it was then that we learned the tragic news - Richard had been killed in a farming accident the day before.
