The best bit about winter is the Scottish releasing the names of their gritters.

Following Karl Marx through one madcap day in 1871, 'Marx in London!' takes the great thinker off his pedestal, showing the chaos and farce of his private life, interweaving humour with moments of pathos and poignancy.
