Once again, the large and small screens serve as inspiration for some of the UK's leading poets, but this anthology also presents poems inspired by music, dance, fashion, radio, art, and even sport. Double Bill captures the broad vista of popular culture in an array of over 140 powerful, poignant poems.
The idea behind the anthology gave an opportunity for great poems to be written. However, all these 'tributes' falter after only a few lines. There is no creativity nor emotion in any of these poems.
Excellent anthology, proving that poetry doesn't have to be about boring stuff, like daffodils. You can celebrate Bagpuss, Father Ted or two-tone records in poetic form if you so wish.
