My memory isn't *that* good: I copied the exact words from a newspaper review published the next day, which unfortunately is not on the newspaper's web site. It was broadcast here in the UK five to seven weeks ago; if you get the chance to see it, I think you'll both find it interesting — much more so than the BBC's rather superficial web pages suggest.
