A Very English Scandal

Luckily I was able to watch this all the way thought from start to finish in one sitting. At just under 3 hours, quite an easy feat. Hugh Grant and the superb writing of Russel T Davies made it easy and the time passed like nothing, that to me means it was entertaining, which it was.

Hugh Grant puts in a really good performance, well supported by Ben Whishaw, Michele Dotrice (Some Mothers Do Ave Em), Alex Jennings and Adrian Scarborough.

I enjoyed every minute of it and laughed more than once even though this is not billed as a comedy, the way it was written told a very serious story in quite an amusing way.

There were a few sad moments, but even these were told in an amusing way, not so much funny, but not at all serious or sad, which could be taken as a criticism by some.

Every time I saw the hat, I either laughed or smiled, you will have to watch to know what I mean, for me it symbolised the Hugh Grant characters whole attitude of the time.

A very entertaining BBC mini series and highly recommended.

An easy 9/10.
