The decision to use Peter McLaughlin came when we decided to brign back the character of John. This follows the style of Lindsay Anderson and David Sherwin's 'Mick Travis' an 'everyman' charcter they employed in three of thier films, without continuity or references to other films he works as vehicle to explore social issues.
We view the charcter of 'John' in much the same sense. We 
do not think of him as the charcter in 'Regent House' but a simple of how the everyman can be twisted and falied to be udnerstood.
