It was good to hear ER Braithwaites Paid Servant on Radio 4 so soon after To Sir With Love. Maybe we can look forward to Reluctant Neighbours soon
It is disconcerting - & revealing - to hear a book come across so differently as an adaptation. I was a bit surprised to hear the presenter apologise in advance for the language, but I suppose that was for the occasional appearance of the N-word
It was travel that made me realise how much the world had changed. A social worker taking the bus (complete with sound effects) to go & see his clients!
And I think the image that will stay with me is that of Braithwaite, needing to deliver 1-year old twins to a care home in Brighton, arriving at Victoria Station with one tucked under each arm
