Farrell’s novel is an anti-empire satire, defenders of the series have pointed out; the wealthy white families at its centre are clearly awful, and they are far from being sympathetic characters. There is some of that left over here. Joan and Walter marvel patronisingly at Vera’s good English, which is as present-day as it is early 1940s. Sylvia has some decent lines: “He’s not dead, is he? And the weather! What else could go wrong?” And I did enjoy Joan’s willingness to go as far as her father deems necessary, without much in the way of a prompt. “What does it matter what he’s like? Of course I’ll marry him,” she purrs. James Delingpole of The Spectator was more positive, describing the cast as "splendid, the colonial setting lavishly realised... This is the Sunday night TV many of us feared they'd never dare make any more." [23] Controversy [ edit ] Meet the cast of ITV period drama The Singapore Grip, 8 September 2020". Radio Times .
