Slim Gaillard's Civilisation (4): Everything's OK in the UK

This week Slim Gaillard's story comes up to date. Today he lives a life of gentlemanly leisure in London pursuing an interest in golf, snooker and the occasional appearance at international jazz festivals. From the fireside in his club he surveys his film career, looking back on roles in 'Roots', 'Absolute Beginners' and 'Planet of the Apes'. He introduces us to his family - in particular his daughter, who married Marvin Gaye. He goes down to the station early in the morning to see the little puffa-billys all in a row, and reveals all about the girl in the test card.
