Kingsley Amis's books were the only books I ever bought (or could afford to buy!) in hardback. Could never wait for the paperback. I miss him.

Great to see this again. Do you have the date of the original broadcast? I know it must have been around March 1991.

Thank you, FRiB6890.

He poked fun at him at the junction where parts one and two met. But this was about Kingsley, they probably assumed that Martin would get a lot of coverage in the future, being one of, if not the biggest, writers in the UK at the time.

You think they'd have mentioned Martin. All the same, good fun.
