A real treat on BBC4 tonight - Abigail's Party. Mike Leigh's superb satire on a middle-class dinner party. Never been bettered in my opinion.

Part of a night devoted to the play starting at 9pm with a discussion on the play, the play itself at 10pm and a nostalgic look back at the 70s era at 11.45.

That play was sheer brilliance! Superb writing and casting. Once you've seen Alison Steadman's performance in it you'll never forget it!

As you say Rik, a real treat!

Not forgetting 'Demis Rousoss' and 1970s hair styles!
