Thanks to Alan Coles, Robert gets a comp ticket to see Robert Lindsay in The Entertainer at the Old Vic. Although he is being unfairly compared to the original Archie Rice, Laurence Oliver, Lindsay is, in actual fact, an actor more in tune with the seedy music hall tradition the play examines. A marvellous cast; although the stand-out is John Normington as Billy Rice, the only success story of the family.
