Wasn’t there an argument over “Trump Whisky”? That’s lurking at the back of my mind. Ultimately something along the lines that he didn’t pay the distillery?

Talking of Harvest Festival ...

You cannot go wrong with any of the Quatermass serials/films.

I’m watching a documentary celebrating Play For Today, which has seeded the idea of giving Penda’s Fen a rewatch.
