So impressed by Sally’s performance tonight and by the brilliance
of her script. Sally Dynevor was superb. Her comic timing is second to none on
the cobbles.
Carla was clearly deep in thought but Sally, who misread the
situation chats on about the pronunciation of quinoa and kale. She even mentions
the avant garde notion of kale crisps.
At root, of course, is Sally’s snobbery and her sense of
self-importance. The brightest scripts the writers produce for Sally are those
where she thinks she is being fashionable, in the swim, keeping up with the
Jones’s and in actual fact is failing. Remember the sofa? She hated the red
sofa but on discovering it was expensive and pre-owned by a woman she thought
of good stock, all of a sudden Sally loved it! It’ll be Farrow and Ball paint next,
which will be essential to Sally’s existence.
Later, when Tim and Kevin arrive back at Sally’s and there
is a sense of relief about the kiss and the buying of the factory is in
prospect, Sally says, ‘I’ve got a Vienetta in the fridge.' Alan Bennett would be
delighted.
