Keyboard Skills
T2096794081
A loveless screw and a charred briefcase just about sum up the end of a political career and a marriage for ambitious junior minister Bernard Snowden. Layer by layer his loyal wife Caroline, formerly his PA, peels away an onion of initially farcical lies and cover-ups surrounding Snowden's scandalous evening in Bromley with his current secretary. What is revealed is a core of ambition and brutality far more damnable than mere sordid bed hopping. As Bernard's revolted wife Caroline remarks: "This isn't Watergate - this is Chappaquiddick". The title Keyboard Skills refers to those of the typing room where Miss Gainsborough trains young women to be indispensable in a male world.
