The Afternoon Play: Come Fly with Me (2007)
great writing. very funny!
all set in a registry office Come Fly with me was superb. at last something very funny on TV! Great writing and acting. Should be developed as a series. Like the best American comedy. wasted on daytime. more. HannaH waterman was very very sad and funny and the other cast were great . It was pacey. It was moving . It was funny funny. Let's hope they do more of these next year. Hope these plays are released on DVD. well done. Hannah waterman should be given her own series soon. The direction was fast, clever and colourful. Kate isset was brilliant in Coupliung and her comic talents were truly on display here. It was great to see jack Deam from the brilliant Shameless playing the nice guy who can't get love. The little cameos were spot on also
Blood & Peaches (1995)
brilliant real drama
i remember seeing this when it was broadcast in the mid nineties and thinking how fresh, funny and honest it was. It's stuck with me ever since. A young cast of unknowns and a genuinely moving story of racial problems and young love in Bradford in Yorkshire. The writing was tough and true and full of life it was. It's ashame that this kind of work does not get made as often as it should with TV being obsessed with cops and docs. For me at the time it was great to see life that was dramatised and felt real. The director did a fantastic job with such young inexperienced acting and the settings were evocative. It's a shame its not available on DVD as it would be a great piece of social history one day. Weaving as it does the inter-racial world that exists in Towns like Bradford. really really great drama!
