A detailed portrait of a nine-sixties male chauvinist. Actually, male chauvinist fails to do him justice; Alfie doesn't even realise that women belong to the same species - "birds" are all "it", rather than "she", as far as Alfie is concerned.
Bill Nuaghton's control of voice is a triumph; there is never a word that falls from Alfie Elkins's self-congratulatory lips that doesn't ring true. Forty-odd years after it was written, it is sad to think that there are plenty of men who really haven't evolved from this primitive state.
