069 - WATER

Jeremy is joined again by Anthony Malone to mull over the 1985 satirical comedy Water starring Michael Caine, Leonard Rossiter, Brenda Vaccaro, Valerie Perrine and Billy Connelly, as part of a discussion that covers such topics as the BBC Shakespeare, comic actor Salma Hayek, Bernard and the Genie and knockabout prankster George Harrison.

Included below are extracts from the fantastic soundtrack and the segment from the programme mentioned in the podcast, In at the Deep End, in which Paul Heiney gets acting lessons from a mercurial Oliver Reed.
