It's a top flight time machine. I'm Andy Dawson. Pow, pow, pow.

I'm sorry what?

It's the Twits Odyssey, Part 2.

We're working now. We're gradually through Roll Dahl's book of the Twits, which you might be familiar with if you've ever been a child. Of course, it's illustrated famously by Quentin Blake, so we're talking as much about the illustrations as much as the story itself. Lots of chapters in this, lots of very short chapters indeed. I think we rattled through three of them in the first episode. We're now onto the next chapter which is just called Mrs. Twit. We've not heard anything from so far. It's all been but Mr. Twit and dirty beards and dirty faces. Mrs. Twit doesn't have a beard. But, you know, Roald Dal isn't kind to Mrs. Twit at all. wasn't kind to mr twit he's not kind of mrs twit he even begins the chapter by saying

mrs twit was no better than her husband um she did not of course have a hairy face it was a

pity she didn't because at that rate that would have hidden some of her fearful ugliness.

Take a look at her, he says.

Take a look at her.

Have a look at this.

Fix your fucking papers on this, everyone.

Have a look at it.

Quentin, it's me rolled.

Yeah, I've got a new job for you, new commission.

I want you to draw a right, ugly cow.

I'm working on a book about a couple of fucking idiots.

He's fucking horrible.

I don't know, you're the fucking drawerer, not me.

Just make a fucking disgusting, right?
