The album saw the band take on a more mature dark wave vibe, moving away from the heavy groove of the debut whilst maintaining the true essence of the Devilment sound. It also brought the vocal talents of Lauren Francis forward into the spot light with Scott Atkins again at the production helm. The album was the first to see Parks & Francis writing, but with outside help from composer John Phipps who penned the band's debut video for "Hitchcock Blonde".

The magazine was started as a monthly by PW "Jimmy" Green in 1945, with the first few issues produced from the back bedroom of a bungalow in Kent which Green shared with his wife, Pam. With post-war paper rationing still in force, Green used a mixture of determination and devilment to launch the first, self- published edition. It was numbered Volume II Issue I, but this was a deliberate error to fool the government into thinking the magazine had existed before the war. There was, of course, never a Volume I. Green was also told by athletics and publishing experts that the idea would never work. “I thanked them for their advice and completely ignored it. I was pig headed,” said Green.

This, like so much else of Fred, was just a front to cover his true self: idle, ignorant and coarse. One of Fred's early storylines included a brief fling with Vera Duckworth (Elizabeth Dawn) and brought her back to the Rovers to have afternoon tea with Annie, but nothing came of the relationship. Fred was unlikeable and devious, and often did things for the sheer devilment, such as tossing bread on top of Eddie Yeats's (Geoffrey Hughes) dustcart to attract pigeons in order to ruin his chances of winning the Best Kept Dust-Cart competition. Despite the fact that he liked to think he was in charge of the pub, Annie dominated him, Bet Lynch (Julie Goodyear) ridiculed him and Betty Turpin (Betty Driver) did nothing to hide her contempt for him; the only person he did carry some clout over, cleaner Hilda Ogden (Jean Alexander), spoke to him with sarcasm and only begrudgingly obeyed him, after being prompted by Bet or Betty.

Weld was the son of Sarah (Bartlett) and Stephen Minot Weld. He prepared for higher education at the Jamaica Plain boarding school mastered by his father. Weld was an abstemious young man who claimed: > "I did not touch a drop of wine or liquor all through my college career > until about a month before I graduated, nor did I smoke until then.."War > diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld, 1861-1865 Once he arrived at Harvard College, however, Weld had little love of that institution's authority figures and wrote: > "The whole spirit between the Faculty and the students was one of war...we > looked on the Faculty as our oppressors, and we were--a great many of us--up > to every devilment that we could think of, to trouble and bother them....The > College then was more in the nature of a boarding-school." Stephen Minot Weld's older cousin George Walker Weld (for whom Weld Boathouse is named) was at Harvard the same time as Stephen and the pair sometimes cooperated in their mischief.
