The Devil's Music BBC 1976

This book of a TV series by the BBC wasn't my first or the best blues book I had but it is significant to me as I won it in an essay writing competition at school. I was a really bad apple at school constantly being caned and getting into trouble so it was a major thing for me. Slightly embarrassing having my short story 'The Mountain' printed in the school magazine but a free book is a free book. I maybe one day will post the story - it's set in the Franco-Prussian war - well I was 16 OK

Below is a clip from the series

Oh Mr Porter (1937) full movie

Will Hay (1888-1949), one of the greatest British comedians ever, in what many consider to be his greatest comedy ever!
