[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 216999, member: 23"] Thanks to your tip about iPlayer, I watched this last night and thought it was wonderful. It looked beautiful. That gorgeously grainy mid-Seventies naturalism. And the muted drabs which added an elegance and made the bloody red in [I][U]that[/U][/I] scene even more effective and startling. I appreciated how natural the dialogue felt, and how important intonation became. Very clever. It left me with questions, which has to be a good thing. I spent the whole of Phoebe Buffet's mother's screen-time trying to work out if she was indeed Phoebe Buffet's mother or if I just [I]thought[/I] that because I knew she was in it. Meanwhile, I forgot that Shirley from [I]Laverne and Shirley [/I]was in it, and spent most of her early scenes thinking she looked familiar but couldn't place where. And I somehow missed Police Chief Brody altogether. [/QUOTE]
