Private Lives **** TNT

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall plays a wealthy femme fatale from another era in Richard Eyre’s classy revival of Noel Coward’s 1930 comedy about a divorced duo who, five years after their separation, unexpectedly find themselves honeymooning in adjoining Deauville hotel suites.

Matthew Macfadyen’s suave Elyot has just married Lisa Dillon’s younger but (initially at least) far less feisty lookalike version of his volatile first wife, Amanda, who, in turn, is freshly hitched to Simon Paisley Day’s equally unsuitable Victor, a tweedy model of stuffy rectitude.

Cattrall won’t disappoint her fans – she’s kittenish, glamorous, funny and gives as good as she gets when the fights get physical in this sharp, witty portrayal of a passionately turbulent couple who can’t live with or without each other.
