This video shows The Upper Hand at its very finest. The peak of the hit comedy series. Here we see the blossoming of Caroline and Charlies relationship, with the chirpy charismatic Spurs fan Charlie winning the heart of classy career girl Caroline. They come together as a real family in this volume, with Charlie and Jo settling to live with Caroline and Tom. The sitcom is given added strength by the able performances of a young Kellie Bright and veteran actress Honor Blackman. A must-buy video for all fans.

Powys must be one of the strangest authors ever to have written in the English language. Like Dickens, he revels in character, but unlike Dickens, his baroque, time-slowed flights of literary fancy occasionaly take us into the thoughts of a passing insect or nearby tree — even into the ‘superhuman vibrations’ of ‘the soul of the great blazing sun’. But what is strangest of all is that this is not in any way affected. I’m convinced Powys did experienece the world in this way — everything connected, conscious and alive. As to what actually happens in the book, I can’t remember! But it’s far less important anyway than the strange intensity with which his characters live their everyday lives.

A maze of different believes more up to date than ever |
|
25 years ago I bought this book, more on account of the beautiful cover than on the content, and on the somewhat cryptic summary that this would be the Lord of the Rings for a new generation. As noticed by others it was difficult to get through the first pages and I laid aside my brand new edition for a while - 25 years. After some maturation Ive picked it up again this year and Im surprised how complex and intriguing this Fellowship of Glastonbury inhabitants actually is. A mixture of pagan, druidic, christian and arthurian believes with a large portion of greek mythology and the most complex of mental states, namely being in love, makes this book a stunning adventure and more up to date in a world that contemplates these issues more intensly than ever. Its also fascinating that all these thoughts were concentrated in the mind of one writer and that this mind could focus them within the environment of some old ruins coming to life through these eternal questions that his characters are possesed by. Through the increasing strength of TV-satellites and IT websites many of these different and dispersed believes of our world come together today, but they will not get a much better setting than the one of John Cowper Powys Glastonbury. Highly recommended!!
