Meeting Myself Coming Back
20.00, BBC Radio 4
As you may have heard this week, sadly Clive James is suffering from very poor health, though his mind is certainly as sharp as ever and, while he’s unable to perform these days, he’s still writing excellent stuff, and indeed is currently doing in the Telegraph what he did to such acclaim in the Observer in the seventies, reviewing the week’s television with amazing wit and erudition. His comments about his illness are taken from this programme, though while it’ll doubtlessly be a very moving hour, there’ll be plenty of laughs from throughout his brilliant career.
I remember studying one of Clive James’s articles (on The Incredible Hulk!) for my O-Grade in 1982. I wish him all the best.
