It's a beautiful bed,

Interested in old prints at all?

The frame's fixed to the wall

but I could unscrew it.

How did this escape?

I know what it is.

It's the museum

in the street outside the Palace of Justice.

Oranges and lemons

say the bells of St Clement's.

What was that?

Something old.

War is peace.

Freedom is slayery.

Ignorance is strength.

A triumph of willpower oyer the orgasm.

I only gave my wrist a bit of a bang.

Thank you, brother.

Who is she?

All I know is that

she works in the Porno Section,

probably on the

proletarian noyel-writing machines.

- Mrs Parsons, a spanner?

- Under the sink, beside you.

Thank you, brother.

I wouldn't have had to bother you,

but my husband's out late - committees.

You're a thought criminal.

They haven't been out much.

Thank you, brother.

# Sing to the airmen

in the burning azure

# Sing to the farmers' rising yields

Nigel Kneale

Thomas Nigel Kneale (18 April 1922 – 29 October 2006) was a British screenwriter. He wrote professionally for more than 50 years, was a winner of the Somerset Maugham Award, and was twice nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best British Screenplay. In 2000, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers Association. Predominantly a writer of thrillers that used science-fiction and horror elements, he was best known for the creation of the character Professor Bernard Quatermass. Quatermass was a heroic scientist who appeared in various television, film and radio productions written by Kneale for the BBC, Hammer Film Productions and Thames Television between 1953 and 1996. Kneale wrote original scripts and successfully adapted works by writers such as George Orwell, John Osborne, H. G. Wells and Susan Hill. He was most active in television, joining BBC Television in 1951; his final script was transmitted on ITV in 1997. Kneale wrote well-received television dramas such as The Year of the Sex Olympics (1968) and The Stone Tape (1972) in addition to the Quatermass serials. He has been described as "one of the most influential writers of the 20th century," and as "having invented popular TV." more…
