      Audience Member I think this is Martin Clunes' best work. Wonderfully acted and for anyone who attended an all boys school there is so much which is familiar. Seen it dozens of times. Each time it comes up I veer away but always get dragged back in to watch the entire remainder. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Paul C Sam Woodnutt as the schoolboy with the top hat was brilliant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/21 Full Review Audience Member Martin Clunes at his best playing Mr Chips with the wonderful Victoria Hamilton as his wife, good all round family viewing (PG) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member skip this & see the best version of this oft told tale the non-musical 1939 version. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Masterpiece Theatre does it again.This is a beautifully rendered version of the beloved story. The acting, and photography, are top notch. The dialogue is very well written, and engaging. I think this is just as good as all the other versions I have seen. Clune's performance is not only outstanding, but very touching and heartfelt. There are scenes that brought me to tears. His expressive features underscore his solid acting. A very nice retelling. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Very pleasantly surprised with this remake of an old favourite. Martin Clunes continues to impress as Mr Chipping, breathing new life and bringing a new perspective to this much loved character!

      Nancy Banks-Smith Guardian Goodbye Mr Chips, the story of a gentle man among gentlemen, was quietly charming and a tour de force for Martin Clunes, proving, as usual, that a tragedian can't play comedy but a comedian can play anything. Feb 26, 2020 Full Review Steven D. Greydanus Decent Films Not a remake of the 1939 classic but a new adaptation of Hilton's sentimental novella... couldn't be more different from the 1939 film, and that's all to the good. Rated: A- Feb 26, 2020 Full Review John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture ... Victoria Hamilton is delightful as the radical feminist Mr. Chips meets in the very wet woods and weds, to the astonishment and envy of his colleagues. Jan 27, 2018 Full Review A.A. Gill Sunday Times (UK) In this version, Martin Clunes set his mortarboard at the role and, I must say, he did it incredibly well. Oct 11, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
