Trouble was (apart from the far fetched stories) I didn't find any of the characters appealing. He was a wimp and an adulterer. She was a manipulative control freak who was quite happy to let dad be the one involved in son's life until she thought she might lose him. Then she was even prepared to pretend she had killed him. Girl friend was a spoilt rich kid. Thought the ending was trite and kid would turn into a very mixed-up young person once he realised what had gone on.
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
