A Clockwork Orange looks like a change from my usual reading. That is half the appeal of a pool like this.

Conor, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

A Clockwork Orange is one I am weighing up. A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.

Darragh, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

For anyone considering A Clockwork Orange: The pitches in here are useful. A couple of lines about the tone can tell me more than a score.
