Press clippings

Still, Life Begins At Forty (The Buntings are expecting a baby Bunting) made my toes curl inside my socks for Rosemary Leach and Derek Nimmo - decent actors who did not deserve this. The cast all laugh a lot which is helpful for otherwise I would have great difficulty in spotting the jokes.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 28th June 1978
