THE WORST mis-representation of Oxford ever, was an edition of Lewis, featuring Simon Callow as a rock band manager. It had terrible acting, casting, script and editing.

Simon Callow (Oxford Mail, May 7) sees Oxford as a retreat where he can write his books.

What his attitude shows is London is now provincial and Oxford is cosmopolitan. It is the media living in defunct, ivory towers who cannot keep up, and live in a timewarp from a vanished age.
