'There's a lot of brilliantly observed detail... it's very funny and very sharp' Michael Palin

When George callously chucks her he cannot anticipate that his life, post 1964, will never be the same. And forty-four years later, when George is sixty-four, rich and successful, his past will catch up with him and his family.
