David Nobbs and Peter Tinniswood's first sitcom partly recovered
The first ever sitcom from David Nobbs (The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin) and Peter Tinniswood (I Didn't Know You Cared), as well as a long-forgotten comedy from Johnny Speight, are amongst missing episodes to have been recovered in 2023, ahead of a screening this weekend.
British Comedy Guide, 30th November 2023The new Johnny Speight series (BBC1) was gorgeously acted by Cyril Cusack and James Booth and equally well directed and lit. Speight's tramps have always had a taste for the dolce vita ever since a real one hitched a lift in his Rolls "because you meet a nicer class of person that way." A very deluxe production and mildly memorable remarks and turns of phrase.
