‘Telling a lie to what becomes a greater truth’ Wonderfully pseud. Superb thoughts and inverse questioning... do the characters do what you want or do YOU do what the characters want you to do.
Thanks for this. I'm a big fan of Meades and he deserves a larger audience. However, even I find most of what they're talking about a little too esoteric and meandering. A set topic would have been nice.
Brilliant point at about 47 mins by Meades about the way that back gardens are being built on with more houses, etc. People can't resist the temptation to cash in, but it means all the green spaces in towns are disappearing.
A pack of mutually-promoting minor academics indulging in lists of obscure words far too long for them. Only Meades comes out of this with any credibility. In future do try to learn a bit about how to present an audio-visual event BEFORE you organize it. 2/10

"Flawed by a lack of imperfection." Jonathan Meades
The self indulgent intros end at 6.30!!
Thanks to this video, I found out about both Ian Nairn and Derek Raymond / Robin Cook and his Factory novels.
@@andrewhedgecock9749 Is your keyboard okay?
@@ajs41 No it wasn't, and good point. Cheers!

What treat,Thankyou.
I love Iain Sinclair's description of a particularly ghastly photo of Robin Cook - "a real ghost-train frightener".
Who are they talking from 18.15 onward Iain Ned, Ian Nen, Ian Nehn, Iain Mehn?
Two great men.

I reckon Meades had only been to Portsmouth (Pompey) 3 or 4 times because it costs about £100 on the train
Andrew Kotting is the genius who also made 'Jaunt'. I didn't know he has a stall in Camden, wish I had have, I'd have gone and found him.....
My dinner with Iain and Jonathan.
1 used copy of Nairn's London on amazon for just under 100 quid :/
No need for the camera flashes
Ian Nairn
aghhhhhh let Meades finish a sentence
I wish Sinclair hadn't interrupted Meades so much - very annoying.

Snippy without reason 1/10
Minor academics? They're not academics at all! And I didn't hear any long words either...
Erm...Iain Sinclair is one of the best ever London writers - not an academic at all.
