Press clippings

The Small, Intricate Life of Gerald C Potter (Radio 4 Extra, 8.30am) brings back Basil Boothroyd's quietly comic classic from the Seventies, with Ian Carmichael as the amiable crime writer who never quite finishes anything and Charlotte Mitchell as his wife, who does. P.G. Wodehouse himself was a Boothroyd fan.
