We all, quite rightly, talk about how great Emma Thompson's acting in this scene is but I can never get past how tiny her and Alan Rickman's bed is.

Going on one of my son's school trips reminded me that my dad never, ever did the same. So I called him up to ask why and don't know what else I expected.
I don’t think my dad was even aware we went on these things. The telltale sign would, of course, have been all the permission slips he was asked to sign but, since he had 11 children, I remember long stretches of weeknight evenings during which he would listlessly scrawl his signature on sheafs of mounting paper, each proffered by us in the manner of scheming viziers presenting proclamations to a distracted king. Intrigued by such memories, I call my dad. He initially maintains that parents going on school trips wasn’t a thing in his day, before immediately admitting that it was, and that he never took part because, and I quote, “I saw enough of yous at home.” (This conversation also reminds me that, by the time I was in secondary school, he’d begun abdicating even his light admin responsibilities, by avidly encouraging us to forge his signature ourselves).
