Every Airport film must have a batty old lady (Mrs Quonsett in Airport). Except they get more glamorous: Swanson in 75 and de Havilland in 77.

Gloria Swanson is fun in Airport 75.

The plot of Ben Elton’s Stark, then.

Yeah. Good luck to them but I’m not confident.

There should be a mnemonic at least.

Gorgeous plugs for all the radio stations.

Hugs.
