| The Savages |
 |
| "Savage by name, really rather tame by nature." From
the award-winning team behind MEN BEHAVING BADLY. Adam (Marcus Brigstocke) and Jessica (Victoria Hamilton) Savage struggle to remain sane, decent
and in love against formidable odds in the shape of their two tiny
children, Adam's father Donald, played by Geoffrey Palmer, and the
destructive pressures of modern life. A warm, truthful and funny look
at the stresses and pleasures of family life. |

"****Superbly sardonic Geoffrey Palmer... Simon Nye almost never puts a foot wrong and the production team is headed by the great Beryl Vertue."
(Daily Mail)
"Thanks to likeable central performances from Marcus Brigstocke and Victoria Hamilton - and Nye's skill at combining good-naturedness with satire - even the most familiar aspects of THE SAVAGES work well." (Daily Telegraph) "*****First episodes in sitcoms are notoriously difficult, but Nye's always work, not least owing to perfect casting. The characters fit their characters' coats, especially the consistently wonderful Geoffrey Palmer as Adam's father Donald, a poignant figure who is nevertheless very funny... great visual jokes that have become a trademark of Nye's laugh-aloud, and also subtle, work." (Mail on Sunday) |
