Hi
Just drove into work and listened to this episode - what a beauty
Episode 272
It is the four regulars of the time in fine form - arguing with each
other, some wonderful William's madness <as an aside, I must agree
with Linda Smith's comment in the tele program that when you know a
bit about KW's history [I have read the diaries] you do have to
wonder about the underlying anger and depression>, terrific barbs at
Nick (including a chant of sack him and that Iam M could keep the
score). Two other stand out parts - nick telling KW he buzzed to
change the talker, KW writing too slowly for clement on Berlioz'
compositions. Peter Jones (which they all had, but PJ seemed to stand
out as he often talked less) mordant wit - the 38 breasts not being
odd, for instance.
All in all a ripper episode that might knock of one from Dean's
suggestion list.
Speaking of which, thanks again - but a question that I might ask a
panel member was raised by Tommy Trinder who said something along the
lines of 'You don't like each other much do you'. It would be
interesting to know how much was truly felt. Some hints are Paul's
comment in the TV program that there wasn't any obvious distress at
KW's death (could be British reserve). The main indicator from the
Diary is KW's comment about taking the JAM job but having to work
with that Nicholas Parsons.
Another observation - does anyone find some of PJ final outings a bit
sad? His absentmindednes sliding into something more serious? But
then every now and then he re-fired.
