The BBC has remade the original Talking Heads monologues from the late 80's and the ones I've seen are absolutely outstanding well worth a watch, they're currently all on the BBC iPlayer.
I'm ashamed to say I've never seen these before, but the only two not to be remade are the ones which Thora Hird was originally in (a mark of respect maybe?). I've just watched A Cream Cracker Under the Settee on Dailymotion. This was made at the same time as she was in LOTSW and I have to say her straight acting is sublime and such a contrast to Edie. She has to be in the top 10 of the best actors of all time. I've attached the link below for anyone who wants to watch her amazing and touching performance.
