Publisher's Synopsis
Further episodes in the life of Deric Longden, his wife Aileen Armitage, and their small army of cats. Ever since Dame Thora Hird breathed life into the role of Deric Longden's mother in 'Wide Eyed and Legless', she had been on at him to write a play based on the sequel. Among other things, Deric here describes the unique experience of seeing at close hand his book - and an important part of his own life - turn into a film. Despite the usual hilarious interruptions, his own work gets done, influenced by such matters as rag-and-bone men, the Moscow State Circus and crinkle-cut beetroot.
