Broad adaptation of Stella Gibbons' presumably broad novel, by Malcolm Bradbury. Kate Beckinsale is the calm centre of village idiocy in which Eileen Atkins and Ian MacKellan are somewhat overplaying. Satisfying story. With Sheila Burrell, Stephen Fry, Joanna Lumley, Rufus Sewell, an unrecognisable Freddie Jones, Miriam Margolyes, Maria Miles and Rupert Penry-Jones.
Shot by Chris Seager ( Five Daughters, The Girl in the Cafe) in 4x3 and edited by Mark Day (the two collaborated on Yates' State of Play and Sex Traffic and he cut the last four Harry Potters) for ITV.
