Saturday night . . . . . . .

 . . . . . . . . is film night.

BAFTA-winning drama starring Michael Caine and Julie Walters. A plucky young hairdresser starts university and meets a cynical professor who takes her under his wing. 1983

One of my all time favourite films. I bought the soundtrack on an LP, remember black vinyl. Several scenes stick in my mind. Remember the singsong in the pub where Rita's mum sheds a tear. The line, 'there has to be a better song'. There is. Never give up, there is always a better song.

It's a shame there was never a sequel to this, where she followed him to Australia. 

Goodnight. Toodle pip.   ilona
