Episode 5
The public affection for the womanising, hell-raising, often charming and mostly drunk George Best has begun to wane. Written by Celia Walden.
Written by Celia Walden. The public affection for the womanising, hell-raising, often charming and mostly drunk George Best has begun to wane in favour of a macabre fascination with his disintegrating life. The last couple of occasions on which Celia meets George prove that as well as the aggressive egotist flashes of the old humour are still there alongside the wine-fuelled death wish.
