Alan Bennett Talking Heads

I downloaded Pt II from iTunes last week.

They are f.u.c.k.i.n.g. a.w.e.s.o.m.e.!

I've only been able to listen to one so far. Mrs Something Or Other Finds Her Feet, or summat.

By god, Bennett's good. REally, really, really good. Not a little bit good - but proper good.

I wor in the gym, absolutely entranced. With Patricia Routledge, it was. Getting her feet done. WIth a brother who'd had a stroke.

And it was really about prostitution, only it wasn't, it was about people, and that wor :cool:
 
The one with Thora Hird that was on the telly a while ago had me in floods of tears.
Either I'm a wuss or it was an awesome bit of drama.
 
Listened to two more this morning!

One was narrated by a paedophile / sex offender. Or someone who you slowly slowly realised was a sex offender. I was very, very impressed by the way Bennett did it. And found myself thinking, basically, fuck me that's a risk.
