Your last chance to see...
For those of you who relish (or like to shout rude words at) my TV appearances, you have a few hours left to see my short film on policing on BBC's This Week broadcast last Thursday on the BBC iPlayer here.
In answer to a reader who asked about the Clockwork Orange theme, yes, I believe the underpass we used, a wasteland of concrete in Wandsworth, was the one used by Stanley Kubrick to film a rather nasty scene in that film.
Note also the background music from Beethoven's Ninth symphony, a reference which those familiar with the film will immediately get.
They wanted me to wear a Bowler hat and paint lightning streaks on my face, as in the film, but I declined.
The Andrew Neil programme is undoubtedly a very good one (and Alan Johnson a pleasant change from Diane Abbott). Why is it confined to this impossibly late hour?
