The Cucumber Man

The Cucumber Man (1994)

This follows Henry Pratt’s life from the disintegration of his journalistic career in 1960 to the ripe old age of 59 in 1994. His love-life is more tangled than ever, he attempts to write a novel and become an M.P, but it’s the eponymous cucumbers that dominate his life, whether at the ill-fated Cucumber Marketing Board, or in his job in a market garden, or even when he’s involved in Overseas Aid in far-off Peru. There must be more to his life than cucumbers. But is there?
