I didn't see a country that was broken tonight. Let the chap who organised tonight's events run the country and let's see what happens.

From the Vintage Radio Times page on Fb: who knew the great dictator was such a fan of the JY Prog @DrMatthewSweet?
For a second I thought that was @edvaizey interviewing Denholm Elliott!
Percy, 1971. Starring Hywel Bennett, Denholm Elliott, Elke Somer, Britt Ekland and a host of familiar names. Bennett is Edwin who receives the first penis transplant, a large one naturally... Music by Ray Davies and The Kinks. The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The advertising campaign which paved the way for Percy by inviting us to guess its length seemed reprehensible enough but was still inadequate preparation for the unadulterated salacity of the film itself. Edwin's first waking vision of the Post Office Tower sets the tone for a fusillade of barrack-room humour that repeats and twists practically every joke ever made about male genitalia, then caps this by having comedian Arthur English stand up and recite what would appear to be an anthology of the gags that didn't make the grade for the scenario."
How did the Nobel Literature judges miss this collection? Stick one of these in @NewYorker and wait for the reaction.

If, like me, you were sexually abused as a child, you'll be grateful forever that @childline exists and thankful to Esther Rantzen for her work in helping to make it happen.
And finally Cyril
And finally Esther, sleep well. – at Lunsford's Cross, England

Well, @gilescoren, once again they didn't listen to us. I get that you're a humble restaurant cricket and columnist, but i thought I had some influence. Alas.....#switzy #BookerPrize – at Lunsford's Cross, England
