emotional
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

5.0

"I wanted to sing his name out into the night. His name is Morris. He is my Morris and he always been my Morris. He's a good-hearted man, a special man,  a loyal man,  a man who appreciates good joke, a man of many moods, a drinking man and a man with whom I can be myself completely."

EXCUSE ME-

"And never , not once, have i felt able to link arms with the man I love. Me and Morris exchange sidelong glances, and flicker . He grabs my hand and squeezes it for a few seconds. It is our first public display of physical affection in sixty years."

SIXTY YEARS?

And finally,
"What Morris don't know is that I secretly set up a trust fund in his name a long time ago, seeing as he still won't let me support him. Should I depart this earth before him(which I hope happens, because I'd rather die than live without my beloved spar), he's goin' be looked after good for the rest of his life."

4.75 rounded to 5 stars because I love Barry and Morris with my whole heart. These soulmates!!!
