John Cleeves was remarkably good, I must say. In many ways it was a more satisfying experience than the RSC version. But there's still that speech of Kate's at the end. There must be a way in which she could deliver those lines with some degree of irony. And we watched it last night. John Cleeves was remarkably good, I must say.
