Around 11.00 stage, reference is made to the 'Heathcliffe Room'. Some hotels do this, giving over the name of a famous writer or character in a well-known writer's work. I stayed in a hotel in Shanklin, Isle Of Wight some years ago & was escorted to the 'John Keats Room' (he stayed in that very room on more than one occasion). To me, it's like handling an old volume owned by someone of note. One could almost feel his presence there; not in a creepy way; just that he was there. Curious.
@robertsmith-qb2ke2 ай бұрын
Hopefully they'd changed the sheets since his stay... Expect a Googling will reveal the hotel's name. Have stayed in Shanklin once or twice with my late partner, but the place I recall was part self-catering, and had the bonus of red squirrels on site... Not heard of this show, but the copyright date would suggest I was probably at college at the time...
