There's a lovely scene in Kenneth Branagh's film of 'Much Ado About Nothing' with Richard Briers and Brian Blessed on one side of the scene and Denzel Washington on the other. Blessed and Briers completely wiped the floor with them. The yanks never knew what hit them. I always imagine Branagh calling 'Cut!' and Blessed turning to Washington and Reeves and saying, 'And that, dear boy, is how you play the Bard!' Can't help feeling, though, that if you lived next door to their characters from 'The Good Life' you'd end up wanting to punch them. Peapod burgundy my arse.
