Stream It Or Skip It: ‘The Velveteen Rabbit’ on Apple TV+, a Charming and Typically Tearjerking Adaptation of the Classic Children's Book Perfect Strangers continues Stephen Poliakoff's absorption in the ways by which the past influences and constantly invades the present. The past is present throughout, in the shape of photographs, clips of old films, relatives, family trees, ancient buildings, old clothes and half-understood memories. It's as if Poliakoff is determined to present a secret history of the past century, one which is dependent upon the minutiae of ordinary lives; the ephemera of Perfect Strangers is in the same mould as the caverns of discarded papers and photo archives of the writer/director's earlier Hidden City (1987) and Shooting The Past (BBC, 1999). Memory and its hidden meanings become a form of time-travel which has the power to completely change the present.

This was perhaps the best BBC drama I have watched in a very long time. Matthew Macfadyen was brilliant, capturing the character of an outsider who desperately wants to belong to a family he's never really been a part of. The best scenes are those where we see his profound embarrassment at the conduct of his father and those where we see him interacting with the seemingly perfect members of the family in who's circle he attempts to install himself. One winces when he, raised in a relatively middle class environment, but part of an upper class extended family gives away those roots in the manner of many middle class people who yearn to be part of the other set especially when he becomes aware of what he has just said or done after the fact.It brings to life, in a very subtle fashion, the continuing dark side of the Britsih class system. Matthew MacFadyen, playing Michael Gambon's son, gives a marvellous performance in his first leading role and is superbly supported by Lindsay Duncan as the mysterious aunt, Claire Skinner, Toby Stephens and Timothy Spall.

Taken together with the concentration on the interaction of siblings, this might suggest echoes of Close My Eyes (1991), although this time, the sexual relationship is between cousins. As in The Lost Prince (BBC, 2003), Poliakoff views the family from the perspective of an outsider while mirroring this in the story of Richard's rejection by Alice and his brother and sister. The closeness of siblings is also central to two of the mini-dramas, both of which have ambivalent outcomes.How 'The Buccaneers' Crafted Josie Totah and Mia Threapleton’s "Joyful" Queer Romance: "Never Even a Discussion" A London library with a monumental collection of rare photographs is faced with closure when the building is sold to property developers.
