[@pj1909]

Clive James postcards from. Clive James on TV. Clive James chat show. Clive James books...he was talented entertaining funny and people are still watching reading and laughing 30 years later.

[@SeanExcalibur]

Yes, exactly what Erik said, thank you so much for posting these have been trying to find them for years!

In 2007 a bloke took me for drive south of Chicago. It was like an apocalyptic landscape. I'm told it is far worse now.

[@gjackyroxas2720]

Proud to say I live in Chicago since 1995 ❤

[@mookie2637]

The Postcard series hit a high here. Clive's writing is on top form. Funny reading him talking about this piece (and just how boring he found the blues...) in 'Blaze of Obscurity'.

[@patrickcrowther9195]

One of the best, if not the best, of the series.

[@CARLIN4737]

Seen not heard. An early bird may catch the worm or lose his house in trying?

[@borderlord]

Great writing!

[@GoodMrDawes]

Looks like an awesome Town

*What happened to the full version, which was fifty minutes long, and included him going to Ed Debevics restaurant and his famous quote: "Chicagoans are so upfront they're out there?"* 😕😕

[@steeviem1835]

Thats weird. Talking about October 87 stock crisis, just as the cameraman films a guy with number 2019...Our crisis began with covid in China!

If only the audio had been turned up!

[@Papermac]

I use Soundfixer, an add-on with the firefox browser

[@andrewbeach-f1c]

brilliant show. What is the music used at the beginning at 0.53? It sounds like 1980's Tangerine Dream. But I can not find it. I would like to know,. Much appreciated if I was sent an answer.

Well done to clive, telling us the lake is flat. lol What words of wisdom, he should of ran for american president, with such an intellect.

[@fredcollierfinishingtouche6701]

Should have. And whilst we’re at it: would have, could have. And you talk about intellect. Ha!

[@saucepanclangerclub2035]

@@fredcollierfinishingtouche6701 Have run. And you talk of having!

[@theculturedthug6609]

Stfu who cares...

[@saucepanclangerclub2035]

One wonders what he did for a living.

[@nickwyatt9498]

I know Chicago and enjoyed this but… no late Saul Bellow ? Could have easily been set up - Saul and Clive had a mutual friend in Martin Amis.

[@nickwyatt9498]

Great to see Studs Terkel though!

[@johnobrien8398]

The razor bans are going there now it’s turning it into a very awful place. It’s true. You know. It’s.
