Alan Bennett's Talking Heads was a major artistic breakthrough in the field of drama when the first series of monologues aired in 1987. Each tale gives us privileged access to the innermost thoughts of an individual, who, although we only hear his/her side of the story, frequently reveals more about him/herself than intended. Often poignant, sometimes sad and occasionally uplifting, Bennett's gift for writing comedy is always apparent - and always inspired.
