Critics consensus

“Tea with the Dames proves there's plenty of entertainment value to be found in rounding up a quartet of screen legends for a chat -- and is likely to leave audiences wishing these stars would keep brewing up pots for an ongoing series.”

Do you need a life pick-me-up? The dames are here for you.

Candid, insightful and unpredictable, Dame Eileen Atkins, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Joan Plowright and Dame Maggie Smith are not only acting legends but also great friends. And a treat to hang out with.

By the time the conversation turns to old age, with Smith offering her hearing aid to Plowright, it's clear that this is a historical record of a lost era. There's no time for melancholy, though. There's far too much giggling for that.
