Insurance salesman George Bowling takes a day off work to pick up a new set of teeth.
Written on the eve of World War II, Coming Up for Air is a humorous, insightful look at the culture of interwar Britain - a world about to change forever....
In a bid to rekindle childhood memories, George returns to the village of his youth, only to be surprised by what he discovers there.
But he is stuck in a rut - portly, middle aged, with a wife and children in the suburbs - and this morning he forgot to wash the soap off his neck.
Life should be grand.
He´s had a win at the races.
