When you find yourself in the position of actually being on the edge of your seat, when the moment comes and in which you realise you have stopped breathing and which has been denied you for such a long time, that is the point when some of the bland and uninspiring is forgiven, because you know it has been leading to that feeling for such a long time.

Croquet, in the words of Progressive Rock legend Peter Gabriel, “Is a particularly vicious sport” and as the mallet falls through the air and crashes into the head of the family maid, Mrs Hargreaves, one cannot but fail to appreciate just how the team behind The Goes Wrong Show have become, in one short season on television, the theatre team that have conquered the stage and the cameras with apparent ease.

There are some films which unfortunately have the same effect on the soul as eating a dozen creme filled profiteroles has on the waist line, the desire for what you believe is substantial, soon leaves you feeling bloated, unsatisfied and underwhelmed, leaving you finally scratching your head at the thought of having to deal with the aftermath, the thought of pondering over what to make of the film which promised so much, but in the end left you battling cinematic fatigue.
