Press clippings

Now as Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall and Walter Mitty and I know very well, this sort of thing is a quick visit to the asylum of the mind. And you can take the word any way you want. It has nothing whatsoever to do with French farcical episodes like last night's Billy Liar, with his four fiancees and two engagement parties and bobing in and out of assorted doors.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 27th October 1973
