This just came in, unsolicited! Dear Duncan, I'm trawling through Mike Bassett reviews and I come across yours. Thank you for firstly taking the time to write about the film and generally being so positive about it. As I write to you me and my writing partner are currently writing the TV series for the BBC so I guess you got your wish in the end. Thanks again. John R. Smith (Co writer MB:EM) Thought you'd all like to know! DW
