Wow, Jane Bussmann is quite angry isn't she?

Made me laugh though and confirmed most things I already knew but don't actually do anything about.

Thanks for posting this Anorak. It was a very interesting listen. I am looking forward to the one they sid was going to be broadcast on writing for radio. Well worth a half an hour.

It's very good. Cheers. Jane Bussman proves that, even when you're a well-known scriptwriter doing well, you will still be angry with the powers that be.

Thanks for that. Good stuff. I actually bought Porrige last week. I remember it being on as a child but watched the first couple of episodes the other day and it was much funnier than I remember. Well worth a watch.
