Penelope Wilton on working with Richard Briers

Penelope Wilton recalls filming Ever Decreasing Circles with Richard Briers in 1987.

Ellie Pithers, The Telegraph, 14th December 2012

Ever Decreasing Circles (Christmas special): The loudest laugh you'll ever hear in a BBC sitcom turns up in this, when Richard Briers wakes up on Boxing Day to discover lying next to him in bed is ... Well, you can guess. It's a hysterical, touching, slightly surreal and avowedly inspiring episode that avoids all cloying sentimentality and goes instead for clumsy, authentic emotion.

Ian Jones, Off The Telly, 17th December 2007
