God Rot Tunbridge Wells!

God Rot Tunbridge Wells! is a 1985 British musical television film directed by Tony Palmer, written by John Osborne and starring Trevor Howard, Christopher Bramwell and Dave Griffiths. Music conducted by Charles Macferras. It was aired on Channel 4 in 1985 and was made to mark the 300th anniversary of Handel's birth.

Shortly before death, George Fredrick Handel (1685-1759), old, blind, portly, sometimes raging and usually reflective, narrates a look back over his life. As he tells his story, his music plays as background or is performed on screen.
