i am a big fan of patricia hodge and mariam margolyes and so i watched this show when it came on a and e some years ago. the show was strange to say the least and but i gave it a chance because i liked these actresses. this has got to be one of the worst shows i have ever seen. i do not watch it again and certainly do not waste money on buying the video. the storyline of this tv version is ludicrous and just plain stupid. the kicker (pun intended) comes when ruth has surgery done on her leg bones. that kind of nonsense belongs in james bond and sci fi movies. if this version is true to the book and then i would not be checking the book out from my local library. the american version came out some years after i would seen this original. to my surprise the americans got it right this time and as their version with meryl streep and roseanne is played for laughs and is rather funny. when played for laughs the storyline works.

Judge the movie review above, you need to make a function call:
    If you feel the movie review is positive
        print "This is a semantically positive review."
    Otherwise, if you feel the movie review is negative
        print "This is a semantically negative review."
