Stir Plopcast

Michael Caine is a drunk Open University professor called Frank, Julie Walters is a working class hairdresser from Liverpool called Rita. The set-up to the 1983 film Educating Rita and also this excellent podcast. It really is THAT SIMPLE. The third lecture? Why, it's all about the old war film The Eagle Has Landed, what was filmed in Mapledurham (which is basically Reading).

Michael Caine is a drunk Open University professor called Frank, Julie Walters is a working class hairdresser from Liverpool called Rita. The set-up to the 1983 film Educating Rita and also this excellent podcast. This second lecture? THE BAYEUX TAPESTRY REPLICA.

It couldn't be simpler. It's two men - one in Reading, one in Sheffield - pretending to Michael Caine and Julie Walters, pretending to be a drunk Open University professor called Frank and a working class hairdresser from Liverpool called Rita. Like in the film. But it's about Reading. I don't know. Just listen to it. First lecture: THE FORBURY LION.
