The Girl in the Café (2005 David Yates)

Very well made film for the BBC; Yates is now disappointingly firmly embroiled in the JK Rowling universe, Mark Day still working alongside him as editor. Having made the wonderful State of Play, then Sex Traffic, this was his last work before Harry Potter took over.

Bill Nighy fabulous as diffident political aide, Kelly Macdonald great too. With  a lovely supporting cast of Paul Ritter, Ken Stott and Anton Lesser.

Written by Richard Curtis. "Ah. Three hours next to the dullest man in Canada. That's quite a competitive category."
