Surprisingly, because it was written by Alan Bennett, I've never seen A Private Function, the film this is based on. Perhaps that's why I didn't love it as much as I might have done. It keeps getting revived because clearly someone is desperate to make it a hit but I'm not sure a show about fattening up a pig is the new Les Mis.
