It's perhaps a natural instinct to decide exactly what to pass on to the next generation. But does anyone really want your tarnished silver, those sporting prints, the four-seater sofa, or that portfolio of declining shares? John Mortimer discusses the sort of things he would like to pass on: the pleasures of drink and outdoor sex; the justification for the odd lie; and the absolute necessity of causing offence on occasion. 'Where There's a Will' is worldly-wise, occasionally outrageous and always thought-provoking.
