    The wonderful Alan Bennett just before the start of his work at the BBC. One of the best writers they ever had and part of its glory days.

    Alan does a pretty good Alan Bennett impression.

    I adore Alan Bennett and his writing and his books. His Talking Heads monologues are brilliant to listen to at night to help you sleep

    "The dentist's name is Brian. He's a very smart dentist and is actually far more showbiz than I am. In fact, they ought to be filming him, not me. And I think he feels that. And the director feels it too. I'm a bit of a dead loss really."

    After just reading that the BBC are cutting down Newsnight and including more (sigh) … debate, it makes you realise how far TV and media as a whole has been sliding intellectually in the past few decades.

    This is fantastic, thanks for the upload! Was this a regular thing on the BBC back then? I remember seeing Vivian Stanshall doing a whole program about his week on the BBC too from around this time. Anyway… Brilliant stuff!

      I think it must have had something to do with a slag heap and a car ride.

    I'm a staunch Victoria Wood fan. A true talent that was taken far too soon.
    Victoria was a big fan of Alan Bennett.
    It's interesting to see how Alan inspired Victoria (and it's wonderful that he called out the establishment for their all too common and ridiculous decision making. Green lighting sitcoms about the humdrum of everyday life but failing to see the entertainment value in the ordinary every daylife in a short form documentary. Silly sods).🦋

    Don't know what it is but I generally didn't like his work. One play - "A day on the sands" was quite good though.
