There is a management revolution in Kosovo and the Green Movie is inspiring it. And the Macedonians loved it too. And the Georgians. Sadly it flew way above the heads of Birmingham City Council. But you are right to say it is a gem. Re: Chris Morris. Have you ever heard the stuff he did very late in 1993 with Peter Cook? Peter Cook said he was the only person who could compete with him at a level beyond any post-war British comic. And there was some stiff competition. Re: Jez Nelson. The other day I unearthed a cassette I made in around early 1990. I taped part of a jazz Fm (in the great 1st year) allnighter featuring only the music of Herbie Hancock. In the studio were the great Giles Peterson, Jez Nelson and Chris Phillips off their collective heads and talking Herbie for hours. Could it happen now? If you want a happiness moment then it was me transported back 15 years with no cares, just leaving the Daily Mail to join Melrose and absorbed in jazz and great friendships. Happy days. I remembered the show so well and thought the tape had gone forever. An exquisite moment. Ah, but The Green One is not lost.
