dry and stale
Alan Bennett's 'Talking Heads' is the most worthless piece of
television since the BBC began. Its characters have no point to them;
they do not reach a higher knowledge - predominantly they do not even
have a rudimentary knowledge of what is going on in their silly little
worlds. These monologues have taken a theatrical form to the limits and
made it so ridiculous that audiences cannot bear to watch. I am only
glad that no one has ever thought to copy Bennett's low-grade work.
