I have loved this programme ever since I saw it in the late 80s. It is a subtly funny "coming of age" story, which at the time really struck a chord with me. Palin, of course, needs no introductions & the cast is some of the finest of British comedy actors of the era.
Every scene is splendidly acted out & the story flows so well that you can easily forget it is a set of scenes & not just a fly-on the wall programmes.
I have been looking for this for years & will definitely be ordering it & I urge everyone else to do so.
It is a masterpiece - buy it!!
Richard Burrill has to suffer a 2 week holiday with his parents. He really don't want to be there........'Why can't we go to Torquay' he asks.
They stay in a guest house which is ran by Miss Wilbraham (joan sanderson) she plays the part of a really ghastly landlady (brilliant stuff)
Richard meets up with Edwin Macklin and they both start chasing after the young ladies.
A brilliant play written by Michael Palin for a BBC Screen Two in 1987.
Set in the 1950s it captures the period so well. If you buy this one you will not be disappointed.
Filmed on location at Southwold.
