Such Lovely Parents
The Lady in the Van, BBC Films, 2015
From London Review of Books:
13 November, Yorkshire. The film ‘opens well’ as they say and here in the village people have been going down to Skipton to see it. They show films occasionally in the village hall but whether The Lady in the Van will ever achieve such heights I doubt, as none of my other stuff has. Years ago when I was still writing TV plays which didn’t always go down well, one of the village ladies complained: ‘I can’t understand how he writes the plays that he does with two such lovely parents as he had.’
