"Thank You, Jeeves" (1934) by PG Wodehouse

Nick kicked of the Englishness themed discussion by saying a bit about each selection and then with his customary reticence handed over to everyone else.

In summary...

Nick (10), Robin (9) and Nigel (9) loved it loved it loved it

Tristan (5) and Keith (6) liked it but didn't really see what the fuss was about

Somehow it got compared to Keith Lemon.  I know I know...

Numbers above are scores out of 10.

Hamish?  Hamish?  He was at a ballet.  Or something.  Come home Hamish we miss you.



We then praised Kate Tempest to the hilt

Before discussing Jeremy Deller and specifically "The Battle Of Orgreave" re-enactment as filmed by Mike Figgis, though it transpired that Nick had intended us to have a more general discussion on Mr Deller.

Confused?  Yes, we were too.

It was another lovely HBG night of erudition, humour, insight and national identity.  What does it mean to be English?  We're not sure
