For anybody who had not yet opened their eyes and stared at the fuzzy images of life at a time when even five terrestrial stations seemed excessive, to find out that there were simple homegrown programmes that could command such loyalty of viewers that over 15 million people would tune in and watch convoluted plots and the now famous ‘wonky sets’, they would consider it a preposterous notion, absurd nostalgia that could not be true.

Spies Of Warsaw, Television Review. B.B.C. Television.

Picture from B.B.C.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Audiences wait an eternity for television drama to make its way back to the Second World War espionage era and then two perfectly good ones come along in a matter of weeks. The second of these diverted away from the thrilling William Boyd penned Restless with the stunning Hayley Atwell as the heroine and focused on the months before the invasion of Poland in Spies of Warsaw with another television favourite, David Tennant, in the lead role.

The Minor Character. Television Review. Sky Arts.

Originally published by L.S. Media. April 15th 2012.

L.S. Media Rating *****

Cast: David Tennant, Lucy Cohu, Mark Bonnar, Sara Stewart, Richard McCabe, Saskia Reeves, Richard Lintern, Darrell D’ Silva.

Will Self’s half hour play The Minor Character kicked off a new season of performances for the Sky Arts channel and on the basis of the first offering, home grown drama still has a place for all. Invoking memories of the much loved B.B.C’s Play for the Day, Will Self penned a play that is both enjoyable, slightly psychologically disturbing and one that needs to be watched more than once just to catch every nuance of David Tennant’s sparkling delivery and interaction with the rest of this perfect cast.
