The one-off BBC drama stars Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson
Times are tough in broadcasting – it's all about the money these days. Share prices, attacks on the licence fee, takeovers and the internet. Broadcasters are scared. They will reach for safety. The last thing they would do is commission a one-off drama in verse about longing, failure and death inspired by a scene in James Joyce's Ulysses. Obviously.
And yet that is what the BBC has done with The Song Of Lunch – which drips with such mournful beauty and grace that you figure it has to have been an accident. Someone turned on a camera while no one was looking so Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson could perform Christopher Reid's bittersweet poem.
The Song of Lunch tells the story of Rickman's publisher meeting his former love, Thompson, for a nostalgic lunch at the Soho restaurant they used to frequent.
