Kelly Monteith

- Season 4

(1982)

Kelly would do anything to get out of writing - even procrastinating by looking up the definition of procrastinating. While putting off work, he talks about romance, modern day Shakespeare, obsessive cleaning and forgetting names.

Kelly is staying in a series of hotels while touring, and has worries and fears associated with the situation: dating while in a hotel, not losing his luggage, the nature of tipping, and losing his bearings.

Kelly is worried about his weight, concerned that his American background has led to over-eating. He reflects on the temptation of food at parties, as well as the temptation for party guests to insist on telling him their jokes.

Kelly ruminates over being kept waiting on the phone, the invention of time, Roman home movies, and the confusion of being a spy when you haven't got a number.

Kelly is all about cars this week - car insurance, car repairs, selling a car, and the representation of cars in the movies.

Kelly reflects on the nature of illness, fear, horror and film noir.
