As a child i was terrified of the poem, The Lion and Albert, by Marriott Edgar.
Set at a ‘famous seaside place called Blackpool’, it was all literally a bit close to home for me (growing up in a small village about 3 miles out….)
It still haunts me. Anyway, I’ll just leave that here for now.
Michael Winterbottom’s Greed tells the story of self-made British billionaire, Richard McCreadie (Steve Coogan), whose retail empire is in crisis.
What better way to save his flailing reputation and dwindling finances than the 60th birthday party to end all parties on the island of Mykonos.
Go big or indeed go home (that lion though…)
