They played the Mr Benn theme music on the wireless as I was driving home from Plymouth. They also said only 13 episodes were made. I would have been miles out if asked to give a figure.

RIP

Jennifer Wilson who played the part of Jennifer Kingsley/Hammond in the BBC series or should I say soap in the 1970’s The Brothers.

Mistress of the deceased father of Edward Hammond and bearer of his daughter who then became Edward’s wife. Something not quite right about that.

I thought it had been a long time since his last Sean Dillon book came out. Very accessible books of the genre but also very pleasurable.
