is this another BBC show? If not, maybe it should be! Is there a book coming, Prof?

Yes indeed, fond memories of that exhibition! I will post the poster above
love Lear and love these drawings. Is this a book or another BBC4 Documentary, sir?
I WISH!! Maybe someone form the BBC will look at this stuff and realise what fun they are going to have. Have just found your lectures on YOutube too. Hilarious. Your students are very lucky to have you!
