I read a Ben Elton novel once. It was deeply unpleasant.

Depends what you read. Like all things Ben Elton, a curate's egg. Oh hang on, I have just had a look at his back catalogue. I've read a few and yeah. You're right.

You can save yourself from reading the rest. They're the same book.
That said, I was magnificent as Lockheart in Gasping (Bath, 1995)
