STARRING Tom Hollander, Peter Capaldi and James Gandolfini

OVERVIEW The unraveling career of an politically inept Simon Foster as the Americans and the British attempt to disengage from Foster’s verbal slip.

OPINION Probably the best English comedy of the last 10 years. Language not for the faint hearted- overused and well placed. I paid to see it twice, then watched the DVD and saw it 3 times on the telly. Fabulous, intelligent and just so funny.
