Rafta, Rafta...

Last night we visited the National, and thoroughly enjoyed Nicholas Hytner's Rafta, Rafta..., based on the Naughton All in Good Time.

A time when newly married's took their spouse to live in the parental home. Close enough, for when I was newly born my parent's rented a room in her cousin's house. At 84 King Street. Except now it's remains relevant only to Asian families. The chavs, of course, are on welfare, and those who aren't aren't, and can well afford to support themselves.

Meera Syal was her solid, reliable self, as ever, but the real star was Harish Patel, the patriarch.

We say, go view.
