Entertaining (just), but a missed opportunity

Rating: 5/10 (18 November 2017)

This is slapstick farce woven from the corniest threads of the British comedy genre.
Parents should think carefully before encouraging anyone over 12 to watch it.
Great acting talent that could have been employed to talk about serious issue of artistic and political freedom, without sacrificing any entertainment value. The actual events of the time raised serious issues, but in this script everything (including the massive public support for free radio) is used only as prop for joke.
All the figures are caricatures with no depth and it is frustrating to think what Brannagh and Nye might have brought to a less childish script.
