My introduction to Elizabeth Taylor - no, not that one! - the novelist, and what a delight. A genteel old lady moves to a residential hotel in the Cromwell Road. Her fellow guests are very curious to meet her grandson whom she often mentions. By chance she meets Ludo and when he visits she passes him off as the illusive Desmond. A tale of a friendship developing across an age gap. The hotel must surely have inspired Fawlty Towers!
