The attempt by Cleese, in his first BBC show since Fawlty Towers, to be genially benign was so excruciating that I didn't know where to look.

[John] Cleese deserved better. As did Alison Steadman, Anne Reid, Jason Watkins and Joanna Scanlan.

[Jason] Watkins is a brilliant comic actor who could make the phone directory funny, but Roger's extraordinarily dismal midlife crisis is beyond the reach of even his talent to amuse.

And so, with a heavy heart, to Hold the Sunset, which can only serve to reinforce how humour can skip a beat.
