There was me in the comments section of a recent blog of mine , when writing about Hemel Hempstead, saying that if it gets mentioned at all on television, it is usually as the punchline of some joke and then a couple of days later I decide to watch the dvd of the brilliant Beiderbecke Tapes. Yeah, you've guessed it:
In a pub in West Yorkshire with less ambience than a Star Trek Fan Club Convention:
Trevor Chaplin (The crumpled everyman: Half corduroy, half old Playfair Football Annuals) - 'Listen?'Jill Swinburne (You've got a blacklist, I want to be on it.) - 'It's only Muzak. They probably pipe it in from a computer in Hemel Hempstead.'
Hemel Hempstead as depicted on TV Watch will now be a regular feature of this blog. Yes, I'm that short of material.
