This episode deals with Beyond the Fringe, the famous Oxbridge review that kicked off the ‘satire boom’ and starred Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller, Alan Bennett and Dudley Moore. And I suspect this may be just part one. And it went longer than the previous episode…

This week has been wearing: the car died, so there was all the folderol around that. I had an eye appointment this morning so of course this was the first morning in months that I did not wake at the usual time (alarms dispensed with months ago). Turns out I am not losing lots of vision, just spending far too much time staring at screens. More eyedrops and a special pair of staring at screens glasses to come.

Listen here.

N.B. Grole of course, not Groke (which is a Moomin character!)
