Enchanting......
A beautifully acted and observed piece of drama with both Anna Massey and Denholm Elliot particularly shining. Some of the characters may have been a little stereotypical but this is a minor quibble.

4 Star Hotel
This is one of my all time favourite novels and I am a huge admirer of all of Anita Brookner's work. I wondered how well this adaptation would work as I found it hard to imagine the book turned into a Tv drama. I was surprised and delighted. It was superb - the dialogue rich and entertaining and faithful to the book. I would have given this five stars but for the fact it hasn't been digitally remastered and the picture quality is rather poor - although only what you would expect from a 20 year old piece of TV.
Intelligent and well constructed. -
