The problem then is whither Willie. What is he for? In Rushton's Illustrated, which is all his own work, he has surrounded himself with excellent character actors (Junkin, Kinnear, Paddick) and the quirky dilapidation of music hall.

Surprised myself by enjoying this Thames comedy in which Roy Kinnear in an ill-fitting head attempted to interest Brian Murphy in an off-the-peg moustache in the economic possibilities of Kentucky fried pigeon and newt in a basket. The deep and wide shiftiness of Kinnear's face reminds me of the Great Grimpen Mire.
