5.0 out of 5 stars JACK ROSENTHAL'S BEST, 14 April 2001
By D. V. GATENBY (Middlesbrough) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Knowledge [VHS] [1979] (VHS Tape)
It would be hard to deny that this is Mr Maureen Lipman's best comedy drama. Every real-life London cabbie has seen this film and knows it off by heart. "Manor House to Gipton Square."

Would-be cabbies recite routes verbatim like children learning their times tables. Grown men are reduced to tears in the interrogation sessions, called "appearances." The dry, sardonic humour of Mr Burgess "I won't take offence if anyone here decides to call me 'Sir,'" the examiner, has caused this reader to burst into uncontrolled laughter and replay the appearance scenes over and over again.

This is one film that you will want to watch over and over again.
