A Play on Words (Audio cassette, Unabridged)

Ever since Dame Thora Hird breatbed life into the role of Deric Longden's mother in Wide Eyed and Legless, she had been on at him to write a play based on the sequel.

Amongst other things, Deric here describes the unique experience of seeing at close hand his book -- and an important part of his own life -- turned into a film. Despite the usual hilarious interruptions, his own work gets done, influenced by such matters as rag-and-bone men, the Moscow State Circus and crinkle-cut beetroot.
