Imelda Staunton glitters with equal fury, but her anger runs hot rather than ice cold.

Filmed during lockdown with a fresh cast, they're as masterful, diamond-cut, powerful and painful as they ever were. Plus, Bennett has written two new ones, so that's joy unconfined for fun-loving people like us.

The eyes have it in Alan Bennett's Talking Heads, which is in no way to discount this venerable writer's gift for words.

It ought to have meant tears before bedtime, but Bennett gave us laugh out loud writing besides. That, plus superb performances, make Talking Heads a must see once more.

Their stories are full of surprises and can be quietly devastating, and the episodes are like jewel boxes that gradually open up to reveal the riches within.
