Found it difficult to get involved in this. Great though Dominic West and Helena Bonham Carter are, I couldn't really get them as Burton & Taylor. However the 'exercise' scene is funny, and the climactic soul to soul is a standout: when Burton says "You know you need help" and her reply, an immediate, quiet "Yes" is ever so moving.
Also featured: Lenora Crichlow (who keeps popping up in everything), Greg Hicks, Stanley Townsend.
Why does BBC4 put all its drama budget into replaying the lives of former stars? Isn't there an original script being written anywhere? Where's Emeric Pressburger when you need him?
