Review of Skeletons (1997) by Rob L — 23 Feb 2012

Two nâ(TM)er do wells (one of whom resembles Graham Kelly) tramp the English countryside (near Matlock as it happens) attempting to help people come to terms with their guilty secrets. The cast is largely unknown barring Jason Isaacs playing a Northerner with more than a touch of the Jim Bowens about him.

Curious and droll enough to have earned a great many plaudits, Skeletons certainly possesses some wry smile inducing moments, but is occasionally too arch for its own sake. It might have worked well as a Big Train style half hour sketch show and the fact that the real life name of two of the actresses are Paprika and Tuppence is an obstacle oneâ(TM)s prejudice finds hard to overcome.
