Very Creepy Movie Dialogue

I was watching the film Sliding Doors the other day (not my usual viewing to be honest). The film was made in 1998 when this dialogue would not have been disturbing:

Helen: Who are you on the rebound from?
James: A girl called Pamela. It was 1974. We were eight. She left me for Gary Glitter. Gary Glitter!! All the other fellows were getting left for Greg Brady and Donny Osmond. I mean, I could have come to terms with that, given time, but Gary Glitter? Oh she wanted to touch him there, yeah.

A Traveller Returns

After giving a bunch of foreigners a pounding, Britain's finest prepares to fly back from the Far East. Yes that's right Gary Glitter is coming home, and the Home Secretary has declared that she doesn't think he should not be allowed to go abroad again.

Which is understandable because for as long as he is living in the UK Glitter ensures that Gordon Brown isn't the most hated man in the country.
