Count Arthur Strong: The Soupover (BBC-1 30 Jun 2017, with Rory Kinnear)
In The Soupover, Count Arthur Strong’s daily trip to the cafe keeps him in touch with insecure Michael (Rory Kinnear), gentle Eggy (Dave Plimmer), taciturn John The Watch (Andy Linden) and of course the owners, fearsome Bulent (Chris Ryman) and his sister and voice of reason Sinem (Zahra Ahmadi). We also meet new customer, cheerful Birdie (Bronagh Gallagher).
What begins as ‘an old man version of a sleepover’ turns into something slightly more sinister. Can Michael escape in time?
