I love it because it captures what I love about early movies and pre-home-screen-theatre like George Bernard Shaw, Chekov, Ibsen, or even modernist drama - Noel Coward, John Osborne, Kingsley Amis...

It's the working man as Byronic hero, with the visual aesthetic being considered but not opulent or overbearing, focusing on what drama does best: two sympathic, relatable, understandable and mostly correct opinions that are equal and opposite from each other, where neither can afford to lose, but one must win.

It also takes massive risks - some don't pay off - but I still love to see the risk!
