By Mike Maddox. Douglas Scofield has retired from the world of astronomy and, following the death of his wife, now runs a fish farm with his daughter, who is expecting her first child. All he wants is peace and quiet and a chance to write his book about fishing.

Indeed, should they reply at all - and to what purpose? Douglas Scofield ...... Derek Jacobi Dave ...... Jason Isaacs Lucy ...... Catherine McCormack Mole ...... Danny Webb Moira ......
