Can I Briefly Talk to You about the Point of Life
The show is based, loosely, on his experiences at his last birthday. A religious recruiter in the street asked him the question of the title and Watson started pondering it. In his over-analytical mind, everything in that otherwise unexceptional day, from a train ride to buying a peach in a supermarket, took on a great significance. But then, as he confesses in another admission, he's always been one for taking things too seriously, writing a suicide note after losing a game of Connect 4 as a child.
