Additional InformationPerfect Strangers is a drama about a family reunion as told from the point of view of Daniel (Matthew Macfadyen). One of Daniel's relatives, Stephen (Anton Lester), has an archive of family photographs, which he is happy to share with everyone. This leads to Daniel discovering a whole other side to his family as secrets are uncovered and he meets relatives for the first time.
Entertaining and intricate this is a typical Poliakoff play ie well written and engaging. He is always good value and the plotline is intricate so you need to watch carefully. Superb acting from Lindsey Duncan and Michael gambon although Rafe Spall's character seemed to be something a of distraction.
