"The moral of the story"

A bit of a waste of time, to be honest. The program described it in these terms: ' "The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily - that's what fiction means," according to Wilde. Barry Maitland debates with Peter Mares whether the best novels are moral, immoral or amoral. ' which is all very well, but as it turned out, completely misleading, the discussion being much more closely focused on Maitland's latest, a subject which held very little interest for me. Well, you can't win them all.
