"December 1, 1978 Joan Bakewell: Broadcaster and ex-lover of playwright Sir Harold Pinter
I am at home when a parcel is delivered. It is a set of blank pages. I recognise it as a new work by Pinter. To my horror, I recognise the silences as our own. They are all there, for the world to see. He has obviously decided to break the silence surrounding the silence. Can I ever forgive him?"
