Unmistakably full of the rich, fruity language of Stephen Fry (though he wasn't involved in the project), Blanche McIntyre (a theatre director??) and Tom Hodgson's (one previous credit!) adaptation is successful, with intriguing plot and laugh out loud narration. TV comedy writer John Finnemore and Robin Hill (Ben Wheatley movies) were also involved. Jencks experience is mainly as an exec producer.
Roger Allum is perfect as the whisky-soaked antihero.
With Emily Berrington (
Humans, no relation to Elizabeth), Fiona Shaw. Matthew Modine, Tommy Knight, Dean Ridge, John Standing (butler), Lyne Renee, Emma Curtis, Tim McInnerny and Geraldine Somerville.
Filmed at West Wycombe Park by Angus Hudson in Panavision.
