The film Big Time. What a fantastic performance. I wish there was a decent DVD release of it.

So good, I’m still smiling thinking about it. I will never see an Orwell book now without thinking of a furious Pet Clark. Chapeau!

By the time I got to ‘fuck this shit, thinks Petula Clark’ I was laughing out loud. Excellent work!

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Peak Backlisted! Also, the Donald Crowhurst book has gone on my list now and the book piles grow ever higher. ‘Will we never be set free?’
