Pedants' Paradise

[Roger Webb]

Eric Fenby swore by its authenticity, however!

Well Eric certainly swore, as Ken had promised not to put in the scene in the church where the local priest gropes 'Girl next door' (Geraldine Sherman) observed by Fenby (Christopher Gable).

I think that that period of Delius's life was well documented by Russell, but it led to many thinking Delius was an invalid all his life. I remember a TV music quiz c. Mid-70s where the panel was shown the famous picture of Holst and VW hiking, all the panel got VWs portly figure, but no one Holst...but when someone suggested Delius he was shot down in flames with the comment by, I think, Richard Baker, 'that can't be Delius, he was an invalid all his life'!
