Mapp & Lucia (1985)

I love the opening of this film (the first four minutes)…and then the ending! Hugh Dancy is a perfect David; I like Maggie Smith better as Aunt Betsey although I do like Sally Field. Anthony Andrews and Eileen Atkins are perfectly cast as the evil Murdstones as well as the rest of the supporting cast! I will say that this is my favorite version but I like them all. Thanks uploaders! 5/5
Better than the recent Ianucci version certainly. That bloke really showed his true colours in the last few years. I wouldn’t pee on him if he was on fire. Well, I probably would if I needed to obviously. Any port in a storm as they say but you know what I mean. I’d have to pee on him and then spend loads of time drying him out just so that I could set him ablaze again. That would take ages and I’d probably forget just what I was doing half way through and feel like a proper chump as I was just standing there with the lighter and the petrol afterwards. Again. I’ve tried to set fire to celebrities before and it never works. They just seem to be too oily but it’s a creepy H.P Lovecraft kind of oil that somehow isn’t even flammable. It’s uncanny.
Introducing ethnicity and race into the picture makes the prejudice and horrible treatment of David more understandable. But, David was White so makes the inhumanity more pronounced. I have not seen this version and don’t plan to after watching the trailer.
I don’t blame you. You do realise that by even replying to me you’re going to get an avalanche of down votes? That’s just the way that things are around here these days but thanks all the same.
What others think means about as much to me as cement. It mostly means something to me if I walk on it! Plus, I realize that this is totally subjective. I love Dev Patel!
That’s the spirit, ha ha ha! I like you. You’ll go far, as my dear old dad would say. I just mentioned Lovecraft. Love his work but he was as a racist anti semite who believed in all of that bollox about people who have stronger, rounder noses being more intelligent. It’s a funny old world but I wouldn’t like to have to clean it. Even my own room is filthy. That’s what happens when you just stop caring any more,
Stronger, rounded noses, huh? I wonder what he would have thought about my dear old dad with the ski slope nose! Like Bob Hope’s! I learned a long time ago that what other people think is none of my business.
I was about to start describing my nose to you then but swiftly realised that it might seem like I was grooming you and stopped myself just in time. This internet lark is fraught with dangers isn’t it? I could have got myself in real trouble then if I didn’t still just about have my wits about me.
It’s only dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing! Like giving money to someone or your phone number or your address or playing into someone’s nonsense. If you cross a line, then that’s the end of that!
I’ll have to take your word for that and bow to your better judgement. It is a really sexy nose though. You’re really missing out but we really do have to play safe here.
