A wonderfully warm-hearted romp. Maggie Smith is magnificent as a homeless woman who shares Alan Bennett's drive in this moving adaptation of the West End play

Maggie Smith is magnificent as the fearsomely opinionated interloper who left Camden residents torn between liberal middle-class guilt and baser territorial horror. ?One seldom was able to do her a good turn without some thoughts of strangulation,? says Bennett.
