Dear Philip, Dear Kingsley
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4LZ7TCZ2

Dramatisation of the correspondence between Philip Larkin and Kingsley Amis.

These two men wrote to one another over decades and they speak for their own literary generation; boozy, reactionary, anarchic. It's also very fucking funny. Alan Bennett's dead-on, eeyore delivery in particular does justice to the wit and sadness in Larkin's writing.
