Thewlis is great here, but really the whole production is a joy,
It is beautifully written and filmed: gentle, charming, mischievous and understated.
It has quality in every department ... writing, production & acting.
Inevitably for me it is a bittersweet reminder of the rarity of such qualities in the ghastly modern TV world.
Just look at the other episodes in this series where the humour is so forced, though I haven't watched them all to be honest.
Well done to everyone in this rare gem.
