in Crocodile Dundee, obviously one of the greatest films ever made, please don't argue with me, when he switches the telly on in the NY hotel room, and I Love Lucy is showing, just like it was a thousand years previously when he last saw a TV, he says, approximately "...yeah...that's what was on then, too"

Larkin wrote a couple of things on this.
in the early fifties, in a piece I believe entitled "to my wife" (he wasn't married to anyone at that point btw) "for all other faces I have exchanged your face" or words to that effect.
He also wrote, in, Self's THe Man, was it, maybe, I'm doing this from memory so bear with me, it won't be accurate,
"he married a woman to stop her getting away
and now she's there all day"
(italics mine)
Makes you think, dunnit
