I can see where Russ is coming from, but the fun and braininess far outweigh any pomposity for me. For some reason, no one else can get genuinely personal, high-brow observation (with generous dollops of surrealism) on to national TV and I for one am grateful that Meades has managed such a long run of doing just that.
Is suicide Bohemian? Bob Carlos Clarke died in 2006. As Meades categorises the difference between consumption and Tuberculosis I suspect there is a distinction somewhere between "taking one's own life" and "committing suicide" even though the outcome is the same.
Committing suicide after being shopped to the police for 'nervousness' by the taxi driver being used as get away vehicle from scientific lab from which you have stolen a bar of platinum to fund your attempt to lure your reluctant lover from her bourgeois married life whom you've left your family for. Definitely bohemian & my father *eyeroll*
I lived at a DSS homeless hostel on Fitzroy Square, opposite the bookshop, in a private room, for 3 weeks in the mid-80s. I had that noted tragedian, Detmar Blow, one night in my bed there, some time before his famous marriage. I think this qualifies me on genteel poverty oneupmanship lol
Does anyone know why "House Ahoy", the third episode of 1990's Abroad In Britain series is nowhere to be found on the internet? thetvdb.com/?tab=seasonall&id=83965&lid=7
He may be, but don't count on it without meeting me. I'm a professional translator, proofreader and editor. It's not very exciting but it does require linguistic competence. I would say that Meades is often more verbose than eloquent and in any case he remains a little too self-important as a narrator for my tastes.
I love this man. He has taught me so much.
Thank you for the Meades once again. Great quality and its so good to catch these again. Love his judicious balance of visual puns and surrealism too.
