The Show: “Never be ashamed to write a melody that people remember.”

Workin’ to the beat of this broken rhythm…

If Ben Whishaw as Paddington Bear is or isn’t your bag then perhaps you might or might not like Ben Whishaw narrating “George” – a story about the final days in the life of a man aged around 65 – a man called George.
