A promising sequel

Sir: Keith Waterhouse bemoaned that he had to abandon the dramatisation of Alan Clark's Diaries (Diary, 3 August). But he must not despair. Perhaps the theme of his next theatrical triumph lay embedded at the other end of the same issue: Jeffrey Bernard and Leanda de Lisle return next week — surely a far more intriguing and promising title than the rather prosaic Jef- frey Bernard is unwell.
