Wasn't Sean having fun with the cast of Privates on Parade (including Simon Russell Beale) this afternoon? He sounded absolutley in his element, with his guests playing along. A pity he didn't mention the rather tragic sub-text to the story - it makes what could be just a bit of fluff into something with some bite. Or perhaps this new production tones it down a bit?

SRB will have his work cut out to match Dennis Quilley and Roger Allam who played Captain Terri Dennis in the two previous productions that I've seen - but he is a multi-talented actor so I have high hopes
I'll catch the Rafferty-fest on iPlayer Flossie - thanks for the tip

Was lucky to be taken by my dad to see the original production at the RSC/Aldwych. Amazing cast - Dennis Quilley, Nigel Hawthorne and Joe Melia who has just left us.
I was all of fourteen but I've never laughed some much in a theatre. Terrible shame the made such a hash of the film.
The RSC, Shapkespeare aside, was producing such good theatre in those days, then there was that terrible move to the Barbican which took them out of the West End.
