Extract from the Radio Times for the broadcast:
We begin tonight with the comedy – Ken Russell’s version of The Diary Of A Nobody by the Brothers Grossmith. Ken Russell, who will be remembered from his many Monitor films, including those on Elgar and Bartok, has been an ardent admirer of this Victorian novel for many years. The film he has made of it is unusual, hilarious, and, at heart, very tender. It is an account, in the style of the early movies, of the life of a Victorian City clerk, Mr Pooter. We see Mr Pooter’s fervent desires for the well-being of his family coming to fruition – and sometimes coming to grief. (Radio Times, December 10, 1964 – Article by John McGrath).
