Towards the end of Part One, when Celia hears the afternoon post being delivered and she stoops (literally and figuratively) to look through the Ashton mail and sees the letter to Margaret, which she then appropriates, as she goes upstairs to hide the letter in her suitcase:<div><br></div><div>There’s a fade to a 30-second scene with Sheila in her kitchen, listening to Comfort and Joy (appalling irony intended) on the radio and eating by herself, and she “hears” David’s words repeating vibrantly in her head “Glad to see me again?” (This ties into the earlier remark Edwin made about making sure Sheila and David at least communicate on the telephone.) Fade back to Celia putting the letter away.</div><div><br></div><div>Later, right before the end of Part Two, just after David has spoken to his mother on the telephone, having brushed off Grace (ah, the double irony....), he delivers a bittersweet monologue about having seen a movie as a child about a family at Christmas, all huddled around the hearth, opening presents, everybody kind and happy. “Where is that world?” he asks Grace, before leaving to go to a local bar. Where indeed? Hollywood.....</div><div><br></div><div>There are so many boom shadows in this episode, a boom dropping into frame when Grace asks Peter about David, “Do you think we’re s bit much for him?” “Yes, we probably are!” BOOM</div><div><br></div><div>These actors expose their souls to the camera...Magnificent!</div><div><br></div><div> <br><br><br></div>
