Mark has had quite a bit of time for our Franz over the years, although he did fail to visit the Kafka museum in Prague despite holidaying in the city twice.
Mark would eventually use a quote from this episode's reading for one of his songs ('From Whose Womb Comes the Isolato?' by Mark James Hammond & The Slender Blind, available on all streaming platforms).
Loads of people say 'Kakfa-esque', don't they?
