简介：Irritated by a di**issive use of the phrase *talking heads* to describe the most boring parts of the schedule, Alan Bennett set out to restore the monologue – which had bee associated with music hall or stand-up edy – to the heart of TV drama. Patricia Routledge as a dying office busybody in A Woman of No Importance (1982) was effectively a pilot for two later series of six, which included Maggie Smith as an incredulous vicar*s wife and Thora Hird as two differently stricken widows. With rare and economic shifts of perspective, the direction focused attention on the actor*s face and voice and the author*s extraordinary ear for the shading and shaping of an anecdote. Playing Sandwiches, in which D*id Haig portrays a park-keeper, begins on a deceptive note of Bennettian nostalgia – *I was in the * shop this dinnertime getting some liquorice allsorts* – but develops into a daring attempt to enter the head of a paedophile. In an era when senior actresses h*e plained about the shortage of decent parts, Bennett provided 11 peak-time roles for older women. By 2008, when EastEnders g*e Dot Cotton a solo episode indebted to Talking Heads, it was clear how right the quietly pioneering Bennett had been to ignore television prejudice.
