Late Night Line-Up

Spike Milligan. In which a McGonagall-haunted Milligan finds himself on a week-long journey from London to Norwich on the only British Railways train to contain a TV studio, a hotel bedroom, an abominable X-Ray machine, the Scots Guards ... and on which a book is written and Peter Sellers draws.

David Hutchings. The project organiser of the Upper Avon Navigation Trust looks back over seven days last May which culminated with a ceremony performed by HM The Queen Mother following a journey she made up the restored River Avon to Stratford: the first official boat trip on this section of the river for a hundred years. For David Hutchings the event marked the end of ten fraught years and the realisation of a dream.

The phonofiddler and hopeful turtle breeder looks back over a fragment of his life.

The creator of ' The Fosdyke Saga ' and tripe-ist par excellence lays bare a week in Southport last October.

The final subject in the series shares seven soul-searching days with a camera unit in Southern Ireland and sets out to demonstrate how the writer must experience pain and suffering in everyday life before the act of artistic creation can be fully and satisfyingly achieved. A hopeless goal but one worth striving for.
