Nice to see Kevin Kline in a lead role again, playing an American who inherits a fabulous apartment in chic Paris in My Old Lady

Nice to see Kevin Kline in a lead role again, playing an American who inherits a fabulous apartment in chic Paris.

The only snag – the current inhabitant (Maggie Smith) is a sitting tenant and isn’t budging.

Watching these two masters of comic timing at work helps bus this airy confection over its stagey moments.

And Kristin Scott Thomas (as Smith’s daughter) adds emotional depth, too.

Please note this programme is not on in N Ireland.
