Jan Falkowski

Just slightly surprised that no-one has mentioned the TV play the other evening.
By all accounts it must have been a horrifying experience.
Only someone of Jan's fortitude could have withstood the pressures that were on him.

I missed it on Sunday but watched on the imaginatively named ITVplayer!

I had heard a bit about it at the time, but hadn't realised just how horrendous it had been from the very beginning. It was quite weird to watch - David Morrisey doesn't look much like Jan (surely James Nesbitt was the man for the job) but I could easily recognise the character!

Got it saved on the Sky box thingy - it could only happen to Jan, having a few beers with him is a right laugh, it seems that all sorts of things happen to him which involve a long and funny story!
