- Anyone for Denis? is a British video-taped television version of the stage play of the same name broadcast by the ITV network on 28 December 1982. The original play, first performed at the Whitehall Theatre in 1981, was written by satirist John Wells.
It is based on Private Eye's 'Dear Bill' letters, purportedly written by Denis Thatcher, the husband of Margaret Thatcher, British Prime Minister at the time. Set in Chequers, the play parodies the couple's relationship. The title is a punning reference to the more familiar question "Anyone for tennis?"
I played Boris in the National Tour of this. Delightful to see it again. I asked John Wells what the Russian meant. Said he hadn't a clue. lol
Amazing Treat, stumbled upon this gem. Actors fantastic, Angela Thorne a marvel as the late Prime Minister. Thank you, truly.
The Portrayal of me and my wife Maggie is well done. Got to show this to the Boss
Angela Thorne resemblance it's uncanny!
She and Janet Brown more or less had the Thatcher impersonation market to themselves!
Angela played Audrey's companion Marjory in To the Manor Born. Excellent.
Thx so much for uploading this. I remember watching this Christmas 1982. I wish this was an 8 part series!
This is amazing! What a treat.
Thanks so much for the upload! I have been looking for this for more than 20 years, I saw it when it first was broadcast and thought it was fantastic, John Wells was brilliant. Thanks again a brilliant play.
Glad you enjoyed it, Richard! :)
Thank you for uploading this - many decades since I last watched it, after repeat viewings way back in the day, but I can still remember so much of the script! 😁
To this day whenever I hear Prokofiev's 'Lieutenant Kije' suite I consistently mutter 'Anyone for Denis' under my breath, and remember this good fun ...
Bloody brilliant! I haven't laughed so much for... can't remember when. Spasibo!
Terrific ensemble cast, particularly the actress portraying the Admiral - she was the particularly deaf and demanding guest in a Fawlty Towers episode ("Communication Problems") 😂😂😂
08:56 It's Alfred Molina young!!!! Oh Gosh!
1:08 If it isn't the terrifying Mrs Richards from Fawlty Towers - superb actress! 📺😂👍
Awesome upload👍💞
Hahahaha that was amazing! Spot on acting. This could easily have been a comedy tv series
..better with Bob Grant in ..a total master ... .!
I always loved Denis Thatcher. Never did BS
Brilliant - thanks a million fo this- what happened to the pilot for TV Dunrulin with John Wells?
Hi! I am not sure. Sorry I couldn't be of more help with your question. But I'm happy you enjoyed "Anyone for Denis"!
D.I. Eric Catchpole ... !! Several years before he left the force, had a hair replacement, and started in the antiques trade with Lovejoy.
SPIED SEVERAL MEN AND WOMAN
Spiderman? Nemesis.
Sublime!
..was expecting to see Bob Grant in this ...very disappointed ...Bobs version was absolutely masterly . . .. . . !!!!!!
You'd have a jolly hard job convincing me that Maurice was not (at least in part) the inspiration for Paul Whitehouse's character Rowly Birkin QC.
What was the one where they ended up on a desert island? Your starter for ten?
Very interesting on the wall documentary
