Can't believe this is Vvyyn from young ones.

I guess he exorcised this from his system. I couldn't believe his voiceover on the revised Jeff Wayne's war of the worlds. I guess he was the quieter one with Rik who I felt stayed more his persona even though he got older and maybe that's what got the better of him in the end like a mid life crisis. It seems Adrian is saying the same sort of thing as Echart Tolle about accepting what is and stoicicm taking responsibility of confronting what is and dealing with the pros and cons of each decision which he mentioned are his main themes in his 2 books he wrote for more for kids. I agree that the series bottom was one of the funniest things ever on TV as it was wallowing in the sad pathetic existence of life, a bit like Tony Hancock but with more aggression. He also said his brother was funnier than him but the sucess is more about how to put it across to reach other people's reality rather than just raw talent that isn't nurtured but wasted on other things like being a dress maker etc. Interesting honest audio.
