Yes I have to be careful about mentioning things like that to my dad (who is
a psychologist) because he will go into great in depth conversations about
all its connections with the sub-consiouscious etc, etc, etc.
Naturally as a psychologist, he enjoys Press Gang very much. He enjoys the
Spike/Lynda thing but particularly likes the relationship between Lynda and
Sullivan (having also been a university lecturer in English). he loved
Sullivan's line "Sometimes Lynda I think you ought to be fitted with an
off-switch". I am sure some of my teachers think the same about me, as do
all the people who are reading this letter. I therefore will finish here.

P.S. I saw Natacha at "Much Ado About Nothing" last night. As it was
bucketing down last night and the performance was in the gardens at Carick
Hill (if anyone visits Adelaide they must visit Carrick Hill, it is
beautiful and perfect for "Much Ado About Nothing"). Every other night would
have been gorgeous and the weather would have ben perfect but that is
Adelaide weather for you......Beautiful one day, rainy the next. However I
quite enjoy getting wet and if they hadn't called it off halfway through I
would have been happy to sit outside in the rain all night. What I saw of
the play was excellent and I would love to see the whole thing if it was on
again.
