Henry Parr appears to be an ordinary, unassuming chap, with a nice house and nice life, but there's one stumbling block, his nagging and domineering wife Elinor, Henry is pushed too far, and plots her murder.
I haven't seen this since it first aired, but I did remember snippets of it, it's aged pretty well, and still manages to surprise and entertain.
Very much a 90's black humour, this first half plays out almost like an extended episode of Dawn French's Murder most horrid, it's that kind of absurd, farcical black humour.
The relatively low score surprises me, it's way better than the meagre rating would suggest, I'm not sure you'd say it's a classic, but it's definitely worth your time.
The best element is definitely Robert Lindsay's comedy, his sarcastic remarks and sheer desperation are joyful, the elements working against him are deliciously dark and twisted, the party scene was almost surreal.
Bags of fun, 7/10.
