You forgot to mention Nigel Bett's stick trick which I hope he leaves in. We had hearty chuckles with Debra Gillett and Nigel Bishop and their situations. Well we've all been there. Our woman of the match goes to Cherrelle Skeete. Wow! What an incredible voice. Did I mention you also forgot to mention the rain? We liked seeing the Actors continuing to display their skills even when standing or sitting still. There is something Abramovic about it. Artists imitating life imitating art imitating life. It reminds us that it is in fact a skill to master and very well done too. We were treated to all sorts of attention to fine detail with handkerchiefs, parasols, footstools, Cain and indoor kite flying. All done with extravagant charm and finesse. We agree John Simm was awesome as usual. Mastery! It had to be said and yes there was a Master Doctor pun slipped in there too. Did we also mention you forgot to mention the costumes. They were gorgeous! So was Mark Gatiss with his lovely voice and looking dapper and lithe and about twenty years younger than on film. Shpigelsky's back problem, the proposal of sorts and some spoken Russian were delightful. The thing that came out most for us was the passion that came across from the whole ensemble. We loved it just as you said we would. <3 <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
