A cocktail party set in British 70's suburbia see's Mike Leigh lampoon the British middle class and their hum drum aspirations with uncomfortable accuracy.
Significantly, while attire, decor and party snacks have moved on, the characters remain recognisable today so in spite of being 30 years old, it only dates superficially.
A witty incisive view of middle England which, thanks to characters who are regularly awful to each other, makes for the sort of uncomfortable viewing the Office has made so familiar.
