Alan Bennett's Talking Heads

Haven't watched them all yet, but happy to recommend already. Just watched Harriet Walter and cannot fault a moment of her performance. How refreshing to watch something that relies on words and performance.

These all are basically a master class in acting. All done with such an intimate and revealing insight. The sense you get while watching is that although the circumstances of our lives may differ the emotional crises we go through are universal. We can all experience moments of true happiness but suffer all the same. Of course some stories grip you more than others but for the most part there's always a sense of sympathy or relatability brought on by these performances.

I've loved it ! My particular favorite is Martin Freeman in A Chip in the Sugar. Such an amazing performance !

Enjoyed a few of these, but they were a little too long and a little dated. For Example, Jodie Comer (Episode 4) performed superbly, but her talking about "Crossroads" on the tv when she clearly wouldn't have been born, could have been updated to Corrie or Eastenders. Excellent all the same, except for Jodie's Accent changes, which were All Over the Place!

Lovely to see the 'Talking Heads' format being revived, with new people reading some of the classics from 32 years ago, with Bennett also penning some new ones.

Nice to have something a bit different on the BBC.
