The greatest comedies can transcend laughter. They can move you from joy to sorrow in a single breath, and in doing so, reveal truths that even the gravest drama struggles to touch.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.

The Post Production has been a massive learning curve for me on this film. Here is a typical email from the post house that I just received -
“We will Aspera Faspex the turnover (minus) source to you shortly.
Kindly advise when you will be able to get the new ref QT over to us.”
