I'd like to see it Jeanie. I saw Lindsay in the BBC's "Much Ado About Nothing". It was a great part for him, because it is both serious and funny. I can only imagine what he made of "Richard III", which is also very underrated as a comic masterpiece. I bet the wily old sod milked it for every line.
I sure liked "Absolutely Fabulous" and although it was as hackneyed as Hell, Ina and I really loved "Keeping up Appearances", which we caught in the original on Belgian TV. Patricia Rouledge clearly revelled in taking that awful harridan apart. Her sheer zest made it for us. Didn't anyone else like "The Young Ones"?
