The Boy who Won the Pools

I made a point of watching the first episode of the serial that spawned this --- and noticed that Gerard Macdonald had added bits! No wonder the whole thing stretched to 180+ pages. It would have been better to cut rather than expand all those short scenes. The idea of having three quarters of a million to spend and becoming involved in the pop/video business is an attractive fantasy and humour is always in demand. Once again, we're in no position to pick and choose. Try it --- even if it is much more successful on the screen.
