Press clippings

John Cleese's irascible headteacher is flattened by time's winged chariot in Christopher Morahan's slight, but achingly funny, comedy, scripted by Michael Frayn. Heading for a conference in Norwich, Brian boards the wrong train and is soon deep in a travel nightmare horribly familiar to rail users everywhere.

Christopher Morahan obituary

Director and producer whose 60-year career spanned television, theatre and film - from The Jewel in the Crown to Pinter plays.

Michael Billington, The Guardian, 11th April 2017

After Pilkington by Simon Gray, beautifully directed by Christopher Morahan, was a murderously funny mix of Wodehouse and Hitchcock, a sort of What Ho! Psycho.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 26th January 1987
