Written by actor, best-seIIing author and noted satirist John WelIs and based on his and Richard lngrams' hilarious Dear BiII Ietters for Private Eye Anyone for Denis? was a major West End hit in the earIy 1980s and remains an unequivocally high watermark of British farce.
Starring WeIIs himself as the much-put-upon Denis and AngeIa Thorne in an arguably career-best performance as The lron Lady, a remarkabIe supporting cast incIudes Robert Stephens, Joan Sanderson, Alfred Molina, Roy Kinnear, Nicky Henson and John Cater. This teIevision adaptation for Thames TeIevision one of the hits of the ITV network's 1982 Christmas season was directed award-winning writer/director (and comedy legend in his own right) Dick Clement.
While Maggie is away at a Euro-Conference, Denis invites two of his drinking chums for a weekend of mischief at Chequers. Things start to go seriousIy wrong, however, when she returns unexpectedly and mistakes her husband's friends for EEC Commissioners! |
