laurence, angela likes demis roussos, - tony likes demis roussos, i like demis roussos- and sue wouldex — my now ex—wife, alison steadman, who of course was in it, we were living that — bohemian but nonetheless suburban experience, you know, um... and we were talking about having kids. indeed, my eldest son, toby leigh, the illustrator, is discernibly inside beverly's tummy when you watch the television version. i think i would have to say that the play worked as a piece and, you know, spoke to the audience really. what drives you on now, mike? well, i was slightly early and so i stood up at oxford circus for a bit and i did what i do, which is ijust clock people walking past, really. because i knew i was coming here to do this programme, ijumped on the tube and i caught myself doing what i do, which is to clock everybody coming down the escalator... going up the escalator as we went down, just seeing characters, basically. so, fundamentally, what drives me is people and life and wanting to capture it and deal with it and distil it and tell stories about it. mike leigh, thank you very
