Despite the limitations of a TV budget and scope, this is a well-acted account of a lesser-known story of World War I.
The Wipers Times presented them as two men with a shared and anarchic sense of humour and Ben Chaplin and Julian Rhind-Tutt (both excellent) had a great time trading quips and drinks while keeping their lips appropriately stiff.
It's an extraordinary true story. Funny, sad, and peculiarly British. And told with an affectionate twinkle. Lovely.
Andy de Emmony has pulled off a subtly counter-cultural triumph.
It's a quietly remarkable story, told with respect and, appropriately, irreverence.
Even fleshed out with free-standing cabaret-style sketches, at 90 minutes this sometimes felt as long as waiting for the war to end all wars itself to end.
