    Judi Dench stunning

    Judi Dench is stunning as Mrs Henderson in this delicious piece about the role of the Windmill Theatre during the Second World War. Bob Hoskins turns in yet another brilliant performance, and Will Young shows that singing is not his only talent

    Not very good. Bloody boring actually...

    *yawn...

    Yet again, ol' Judy Dench delivers 'another' tiresome, boring, performance of the typical 'well spoken, yet outwardly spoken old lady' genre.

    Perhaps I am not of the higher-brow wit and intellect that this style seems to aim itself towards but personally I find the whole 'what ho, jolly good show...' performance very boring. Dame Jude grates, but then I have always been of that opinion. If you dislike Will Young in his other ventures he will irritate in this and as for Bob Hoskins I just repeatedly pictured him hitting his head on a pair of cartoon womens bosoms.

    I was forced to watch this drivel thanks to the girlfriend, yet I amused myself by considering what would look good instead of the wallpaper on the wall at the moment.

    Boring, very very boring, and - to be honest - a waste of electricity....

    Young glad he peeled off onscreen

    • 17 Nov 2009

    Will Young is thrilled he agreed to strip off for his turn in Mrs Henderson Presents - because it's scuppered any chance of scandalous stories about him in the press. The Leave Right Now hitmaker shed his clothes for a scene in the 2005 movie, in which he starred alongside Bob Hoskins and Dame Judi Dench. Young is convinced the role has limited the number of stories about his private life in the press - because he's already revealed all. He tells Digital Spy, "After I did Mrs Henderson and had Read more
