This is such a fantastic play written by Mike Leigh and it's being shown on BBC4 this Sunday at 10pm - it is a fantastic watch - brilliant writing, great comedy.

The sypnosis of the play:

A TV play based on the Hampstead Theatre production. Beverly has invited her new neighbours, Angela and Tony, over for drinks. She has also asked her divorced neighbour, Sue, because Sue's fifteen year-old daughter, Abigail, was holding a party in their house. Beverly's husband, Lawrence comes home late from work, just before the guests arrive. The gathering starts off in a stiff insensitive British middle class way with people who do not know each other, until Beverly and Lawrence start sniping at each other.

There is a whole night dedicated to the play, starting from 9pm, but the actual play is shown at 10pm until 11:45pm - i highly recommend the play if you want a good laugh! :D
