Reception

Writing for BFI, Fintan McDonagh said: "Writer Jack Rosenthal, with characteristic flair, puts into the mouth of his actress wife the feelings of parental redundancy that he suffered after just such a trip to Cambridge with their son Adam. Not for the first time, Rosenthal was able to transform an episode from his own life into a gem of comic observation and genuine pathos."[4]
