BBC R4 - Kingsley Amis' 'Lucky Jim'

Read by Martin Jarvis

Abridged and directed by Pat McLoughlin

Broadcast June 2000 in eight 15 minute episodes.

Coded from tape at 128/44.1



Near slapstick comedy set in the mid 1950s at a new university.

Said to be iconoclastic in its day, now seems (to me anyway) a

bit silly and snooty - Oxbridge intellectual toffs having fun at the

expense of red-brick oiks. Still quite funny though ...



Martin Jarvis gets full value from the set pieces.
