Fear of Fanny gave the odd impression of being back to front. The script was adequate. The acting was good in parts, with Julia Davis as Fanny and Mark Gatiss exceptionally touching as Johnnie. But the props - from Johnnie's sock suspenders to the frilled bloomers on the chicken legs - were superb. That, however, is the wrong way round.
