Dear Daryl
 
SONGS PLUS UNBELIEVABLE PRESSURE

I enclose my latest batch of songs. I hope you like them. Please also bear in mind the Wimbledon and Bethel ones.
 
Of course, I wouldn’t put pressure on you but you do remember that I have a huge group of friends coming in on Sunday who are all expecting heaps of my songs and word perfect performances of everything. But stay calm! That’s the main thing.
 
By the way, the Film 94 sketch contained several of my lines and some by other people (e.g. Debbie Barham) but was credited solely to Jonathan. Was this a mistake on the running order? There was some rustling in the ranks on Thursday I can tell you!
 
Your problem, my dear fellow, is that your name is reminiscent of Henry Root. This probably explains why you get absurd letters from me. However, unlike Mr Root I have not yet made my pile.
 
I really enjoyed the show last week, by the way, please keep it up. Look forward to seeing you Thursday or Sunday or both.
 
Yours sincerely
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ian Harris
