“This is the story in which Bingo Little—Derek Nimmo recalls a dazed and dreamy ringdove—finds successive waitresses irresistible, especially one who believes he was a king in Babylon when she was a Christian slave, something he can't remember exactly.”
Listener and BBC Television Review, February 3rd, 1966
