Written by Rita Rudner and her husband Martin Bergman, and starring her alongside Fry & Laurie, Imelda Staunton, Branagh, Emma Thompson, Alphonsia Emmanuel and Tony Slattery. We can see Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson on their way to acting greatness, though the film is quietly stolen by Emma's mum, Phyllida Law, as the stern housekeeper.
Branagh sensibly keeps things in long takes, though perhaps has a tendency to over-move the camera, and there are rather too many pop songs in it for me.
