I would probably go to see Clive Owens and Helen Mirren read the phone book, and I practically did in "Greenfingers," but it's still fun for fans of Brit coms and such.
While Clive's "Colin" isn't one of the hardened convicts of HBO's "Oz," he is emotionally cut-off and his blooming with his flowers is sweet, facilitated by mentor David Kelley (from "Waking Ned Devine").
The love story doesn't quite ignite.
The other reformed-through-horticulture prison-mates are the usual Brit class and race rainbow, so are hard to understand sometimes.
It will make a nice episode of PBS's "Masterpiece Theatre."
