- TriviaIn 2011, Catherine Zeta-Jones invited David Jason to a rented house in Richmond to have Sunday lunch with her and her husband Michael Douglas. It was the first time Jason had seen Jones since she had wed Douglas; they had rented a magnificent property, and Douglas was in the pool playing with their sons. Jason considered him a great Hollywood star but Douglas was very relaxed as he came out the pool, dripping wet in Bermuda shorts and shook Jason's hand. Douglas thanked Jason for being generous with Jones and looking after her on the show. Jason was pleased he thought so.

Featured review
Faithful adaptation
Big relief here that Bates's modern classic has not only survived its transition to the big screen but has actually been enhanced by it. It's difficult to find anything in this made-for-television adaptation that is at odds with the book of the same name. The characters are well cast, in particular David Jason as Pop Larkin and Pam Ferris as Ma, who live life with abandonment and cavalier disregard for society's expectations. The conversion of Charlie, a most challenging task in story and film, is accomplished with care and precision, Catherine Zeta Jones as Mariette providing the required enticement. This is a highly entertaining and deeply satisfying adaptation, and richly captures the life of post-war Britain. Perfick!
