The Diplomatic Corpse

Fast moving direction makes this one-hour British crime caper just about watchable. The audio has been dubbed on in the studio and it's noticeable, so that's annoying.

That aside, the characters are zany and engaging... the plot is outrageously campy and the whole thing feels like a helter-skelter ride... bumpy, uneven and you feel a bit dizzy when it's over!

The plot is confusing, but there's a murder, some communists, some drugs and a suspicious briefcase!

Not a patch on the 'newsroom screwball comedies' from America but still - it's not an hour wasted for us British oldies.
