Adapted by Kenneth Lonnergan - well, I suppose it does fit into his body of work insofar as it deals with a dysfunctional family or two. Though we didn't feel that a four hour expansion was an improvement on Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's definitive version.
Good cast - Hayley Atwell, Matthew MacFadyen, Philippa Coulthard, Alex Lawther, Joe Bannister, Tracey Ullman, Joseph Quinn (Mr Bast), Julia Ormond (Mrs Wilcox) and Miles Jupp.
I liked that Tibby grows some balls; and the way Mrs Wilcox rules over her family. But it was somehow unrivetting.
