Adult and serious, with actual symbolism and acting and performances with some subtlety.
Fielding, Carson, Clunes, O'Neill, Miller, Morris all playing well....
A slightly unsatisfying ending maybe?
Otherwise a dead set classic.
Controversial opinions time.
If Fiona Cumming had been promoted to producer and JNT sidelined to marketing manager, DW would be still running and up to Series 57, ep 1438 by January of 2020.
And Chris Bailey as Script Editor? No that's a bridge too far. He should have been writing novels like Steve Gallagher.

ReplyDelete1983 follow up to Kinda (1982). Another interesting, and thought provoking story from that curiously disregarded era of DW history: the 80's. Like Kinda this has a great ensemble cast: John Carson (films back to the 40's), Colette O'Neil (Z-Cars to Holby City), a very young Martin Clunes (Doc Martin), Jonathan Morris (Bread), Brian Miller (Liz Sladen's other half).
