I went to Hull University in 1964 and saw Philip Larkin around and about. This Monitor programme shows the Hull I remember. What a treat it is to watch and to listen to. Heartfelt thanks for uploading it.

Philip Larkin is one of my favorite poets. My favorite poem by him starts with, "My mother, who hated thunderstorms, held up each summer day and shook it our suspiciously, lest swarms of grape-dark clouds were lurking there"...beautiful...
