A candidate for the Tin Ear award 2006?

I am beginning to understand why it is that Nick's theatre and arts reviews make so little sense if he is capable of getting the wrong end of the stick on quite this epic scale (from the joke items in the Standard column)

In a sentence you have why John Hannah never worked as ITV's Rebus. An actor from Four Weddings and a Funeral was always going to look too perky.

Indeed. I think we all remember John Hannah's perky reading of WH Auden's perky "Stop All The Clocks" in the perky graveyard scene of "Four Weddings and a Jolly Good Knees-Up".
