Someone on here (I forget who - sorry!) recommended this the other day; finally got around to watching. If you have a taste for non-commercial sci-fi and a bleak examination of the transitory nature of human existence in the vastness of space, this is for you. Cruel, cold and utterly mesmerising 👌

Heading out to see Stewart Lee with my son tonight. I am bald, have a beard and wear glasses. I realise I have become one of his jokes; insomuch as he does ‘jokes.’

Still no payment from my ex-publisher, so I'm selling a few more of these (all purchased from their warehouse). The offer I'm doing is ALL FOUR of these, signed, for the price of the 1983 hardback (£16.99) plus postage. Please email me at [email protected] with your address if you want to nab them.
