With Martin Amis, Dave Hill, Philip Larkin (archival footage) 

This one hour single documentary looks at the life and work of Britain’s best loved poet, Philip Larkin. Larkin died in 1985 yet his words endure to this day. Like so many great poets, Larkin did not write for a living but worked a normal job so he was free to write what he wanted, when he wanted. He stopped writing poetry at 55– his poetry is still widely read and broadcast, and a variety of books and memoirs about the man have been published.

Screening to mark Philip Larkin’s Centenary Year
