CGiii Comment

Has humour changed so much???

Overly wordy, contrived and severely unfunny.

Orton was a writer of his day - when religion-riddled people were easily shocked. Now, it's verbose nonsense.

The(ir) Blurb...

Geraldine Barclay (Tessa Peake-Jones) has been sent by an agency to apply for a job as secretary to Dr Prentice (Dinsdale Landen), a frustrated psychiatrist with a nymphomaniac wife (Prunella Scales) who despises him. Circumstances mean that Geraldine has to be hidden from the view of a government inspector, Dr Rance (Timothy West), who has his own theories about how the asylum should be run. Added to this Mrs Prentice has narrowly escaped being raped by a hotel callboy, Nicholas Beckett (Tyler Butterworth) who is now trying to extract money to reunite her with her clothes. And there's a token police inspector, Sgt Match (Bryan Pringle) who has a particularly useful helmet.
