Originally broadcast over two parts running 2 1/2 hours - we must have some edited down version on TPTV which is about 2 hours. Written by Nigel Williams and based on his own novel, this is not very good, with suburban Robert Lindsay attempting to murder his wife, them imagining that he is the Wimbledon Poisoner - the outcome is predictable. Young directs his cast to behave very broadly, making scenes like the drunken cocktail party overripe and bawdy - everyone - even the normally reliable Alison Steadman, overacts terribly (except Lindsay). Might have been better under a different director.

Goodbye.
