    Do3 - Shaw - Widowers' Houses, 6 October

    Is this to be a Shaw/Jarvis season? Repeat (July 2011) of what, as I remember, was an interesting play (which I didn't know). Again, the new start time of 10pm, finishing at 11.45.

    "Martin Jarvis directs Ian McKellen, Charles Dance, Tim Pigott-Smith and a starry cast in Bernard Shaw's first play. Written in 1892 it became an immediate success and remains astonishingly relevant in the present property investment world. Funny, observant, incisive in examining moral dilemmas and business ethics. What happens if an Englishman, decent enough in private, shuts his eyes and conscience to the monstrous abuses of the poor by slum landlords, especially if the remedy might affect his own financial security? The theme has resonated down the years."
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

    I think this is being broadcast at an unrealistically late time.

      This is the new drama slot. Tomorrow's ends at midnight.

        I thought it was a bit boring to be honest.
