User Reviews

Christopher stole the show

Christopher made a difficult role appear quite simple but an analysis of the plot makes you realize what a difficult job the actor had.He had firstly to convince us that he had enlisted for the army,that he was conversant with the technical attributes of the aeroplane,convince us that he had been a bank teller,and also that he was naive enough to blurt out information to all and sundry.At the end he had to convince the viewer that he had learnt his lesson on that score.He also had a difficult role at the author's house as he started as an outsider and had to get on the same wavelength as his host.

The role was played brilliantly by Christopher who made the episode. The viewer is familiar with the other main characters who verge on stereotypes anyhow.I will definitely be checking out his other performances.
