Synopsis
This profile of Keith Waterhouse follows him through his hectic diary. As a columnist for the 'Daily Mail' he reports from the Conservative conference in Bournemouth and the Labour conference in Blackpool, where he slips away to become a tram driver. As the playwright of 'Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell' he tutors the real Jeffrey Bernard in the delicate art of making eggs fly into beer glasses. As a novelist he does research in Haywards Heath. And while one play ends, another one - 'Bookends' - opens in Brighton. He also finds time for his favourite hobby, lunch.
