description: Further Experiences of an Irish R. M. continues the scenes and characters developed in Some Experiences of an Irish R. M., which recreates the world of 19th Century Ireland with its strange brew of Anglo-Irish combinations. (An "R. M." is a "Resident Magistrate" -- an appointment from England to an Irish provincial judgeship.) Somerville and Ross are masters of dialog and the shades and textures of life among the varying classes and of the amusements of life in the Irish Countryside. These works are classics of sophisticated comic writing, depicting the splodding efforts of a somewhat "slow on the uptake" English "gentleman" to keep his balance and dignity amongst the goings-on of a population of characters of a decidedly different perspective. This work was the basis for an acclaimed BBC series.
