The television has been rather dull of late, with the summer schedules failing to ignite.  However, the latest play by David Hare, Page Eight, was a beautiful exception.  So well written with superb acting, it was a delight. Wonderfully crafted, understated and therefore brilliant.

I do love Miss Marple and Barnaby and Lewis and all manner of well tried crime series that the British do so well, but a good new production is always welcome.

Note to self: must try harder.
