Wow. We laughed until our sides literally hurt when we watched this 1986 vers. The dialogue is amazingly clever and very, very funny. The actors are fantastic, saying every line as if they really thought up each of witty line. The plot is ridiculously funny, a chain-reaction of problematic situations that lead to a satisfying end. Since this was filmed by BBC in '86, the cinematography will be forgiven, for they used very strange camera views at times and was not the best quality. But the screenplay made up for any fault the film might have, definitely.
