And for anyone curious about the title of this one: Tony Hancock's The blood donor: available in its entirety on YouTube. I'd forgotten quite how good the young June Whitfield was... Salient moment at 14 mins or so in...
PS: and last mention, I promise, unless I go and see the film:
To those who commented on yesterday's book post about Reacher casting - my vote would be for Adam Baldwin. (The dark hair is a problem; the rest of it works...) But he doesn't command the mega-bucks. I'd say "and he's also too old at 50 for Reacher" but Cruise is the same age...
I don't even like brawny blokes. But if an author makes a character's whole modus operandi about his size, it strikes me that it ought to be cast accordingly.
For fairness's sake, I also need to say that Lee Child has no objection to Cruise...
