A short book just 85 pages, therefore easily read. The first half written by Nicholas Hynter who was contacted by the Head of BBC Drama on the fourth day of lockdown and asked if he was up to the task of remaking Alan Bennett Talking Heads for the BBC. I must admit this first half was very interesting. The second half of the book covers two new Talking Heads, An Ordinary Woman in which a woman, Gwen, develops feelings for her son and The shrine the story behind a roadside memorial. The plays are monologue so from one persons viewpoint, I found them both quite sad. I've.never read or seen Alan Bennett works before but I am intrigued to find out more by bbc player and his books.
