Despite all the theories, the playoffs boil down to the individual teams. In the East, the Capital Bullets meet the New York Knicks and the Celtics battle the Buffalo Braves...
...special joy is that this is Lester's first film since the wizardly but little-seen Bed Sitting Room, which played in the U.S. in 1969 for approximately the time it would take to soft-boil an egg.

"By the time I get home, the telly's gone off." (All TV stations have been ordered to sign off at 10:30 p.m.) The trainmen, who have...
