Everything Good About Detective Series
What an excellent series of programmes these are! A Touch of Cloth is, all at the same time, drama, comedy and slapstick with a touch of pathos. John Hannah plays the lead role, Cloth; a first class detective with baggage. He is ably assisted by Surrane Jones as his long suffering sidekick, and a strong supporting cast who make the three episodes compulsive viewing.
Each episode is a whodunnit, with the baddie in plain view throughout the program.
Good viewing, laugh aloud funny, with cringeworthy dialogue to match. Great stuff!

Interesting and Compelling
I found this novel very much to my taste, with enough detail in it to transport me to the era.
The novel takes place in the early 1900’s, and focuses on a young man called Adam and his journey from the slums of Islington to a mining village in the north of England and then to the battlefields of WW1.
There is the right amount of pathos written into the book, the characters are well presented and believable and the description of the individual settings serve to bring the story to life. There is also the love interest that is interwoven into the whole story, in a kind of ‘will they, won’t they’ scenario, and as the tale unfolds the reader is drawn to the no man’s land that is Adams life.
All in all it is a good read, although in a slightly slow burning way.
Recommended.

A Breath of Fresh Air and Honesty
What a wonderful book by George MacDonald Fraser (GMF); a masterpiece of biography, interspersed with his view of what’s wrong and what has gone astray in many aspects of today’s society.
This book is biographical, and unlike many of today’s biographies/autobiographies the reader isn’t bombarded with self pitying whinging, but treated to an honest account of the authors life; at home, in the Army, journalist, screen writer and author of the best books I have ever read, namely the Flashman series, the McAuslan stories (under three separate titles) and numerous others, all worth reading.
As mentioned; intertwined with the biographical memories are GMF’s acerbic views on many areas of 21st Century life; many may now be buried in society’s consciousness and grudgingly accepted, but this hasn’t stopped GMF offering his forthright view on such diverse topics as Political Correctness, Racism, Politicians (Blair, Bush et al), Government, TV, Sport (in particular football), Europe, Journalism, Feminism and the Army. Being of a certain age it is hard to disagree with any of the sentiments, which is what makes this book such an enjoyable read.
I would recommend this book to anyone of any age; being a huge fan of GMF I am probably erring on the side of bias, but for a straightforward, no-nonsense account of many of the idiocies endemic in British society today, please give this a read.
