A further point about Newton Faulkner. Here's a picture of him. This is Newton Faulkner.

Back in the day, in fact as recently as last month, Newton Faulkner would have been excommunicated from mainstream society and branded 'a hippy' or 'a weird dirty hippy with ginger dreadlocks'.

I'm not against hippies, per se, but I think I probably am against hippies in mainstream popular culture.

It's all wrong.

"It's no good. I'll just have to open the door and see...

"It's... It's... Another hand!"
