Again the strength of Rosenthal's comedy play lies with his closeness to the tragedy as it was based on his own experiences with his father-in-law.
When Jack Rosenthal finally wrote his memoirs, An Autobiography in Six Acts,[1] he did so in the form of a screenplay, including a section from Day To Remember; it was published by Robson Books in 2006.
Wally and his wife Hilda (Rosemary Leach) are spending Christmas with their daughter Judy and son-in-law Graham, but the peace and goodwill of the season doesn't last.
An idea from Graham (a miracle) hopes to give them all a Christmas they won't forget.
Throughout the play Wally repeats a rhyme out loud about his love of eating eggs, with words slightly changed each time he says it.
