Legendary writer Alan Bennett isn’t a fan of modern TV. “Things that are lauded to the skies I cannot see the virtue of,” he said at a rare public appearance last night.
The History Boys author admitted he isn’t the best audience: his taste in TV is “terrible” and he finds it hard to watch other people’s work as it makes him feel bad about his own. “You read something which is better than you can do and that’s depressing. And then you read something that’s worse, and that’s depressing too,” he joked.
