'Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell' is coming to Radio 4, with Sir John Hurt playing his old friend 'Jeff' Bernard. Sir John took James Naughtie on a stroll around old Soho of the 1950s, where life was populated by colourful, sometimes grotesque characters, and punctuated by lost afternoons, sometimes days.
