Рет қаралды 15,814
Жыл бұрынGraham, a middle-aged bachelor, emotionally retarded and chronically dependent on his mother, finds life difficult enough at the best of times. When Mother meets an old flame and seems set to marry him, however, Graham's old insecurities rear their ugly heads again. Fate, eventually, rescues Graham and he resumes his normal life of banal muddle under his mother's amnesiac tyranny.
Long-time collaborator George Fenton provides the music.

Alan takes a sideways view of life ... he focusses on "the mundane" yet he grasps your attention, and makes you reflect !

This is sad in so many ways. There are lots of ‘Graham’s’ that deserve a life of their own.

Just watched this episode on talking heads...just want to see if there's any difference. I love Alans writing. I tried to ape it but it's pretty inimitable.

Does anyone know the name of the actor here? He sounds like the son from “Ladies of Letters”.

The ads are not from this content creator. The ads are from KZfaq. The only way to get rid of the ads is to become a premium member of KZfaq. There is a monthly cost to be a premium member. The real downside of this is that the content creators do not receive any portion of the money I pay for premium. So, it’s your choice, to pay or not to pay.
