David Yates's work on TV this Sat. June 25

[Petra]

Yates's "The Girl in the Caf" scripted by Richard Curtis 
("Love, Actually" etc.) and starring Bill Nighy and Kelly 
MacDonald will be on the BBC, HBO and stations all around 
the globe in the last week of June as a cornerstone of the 
"Make Poverty History" campaign.  HBO and BBC reportedly 
will screen it June 25 and simulcast by BBC Prime across 
Africa and broadcasters in all the other G8 nations, along 
with a score of other countries.  Check your local listings 
for the time.
 
(This is according to the article at:

I'm really bummed because I don't have HBO or BBC.  <sigh>  
Looks like I'll have to wait until OotP/2007 ("Brideshead 
Revisited" or "Life Story" seem unlikely to get into 
theaters before then?) to sample Yates's work as a director 
because I haven't been able to get my hands on any of his 
other works [Sex Traffic, The Young Visiters, State of Play, 
Rank, The Way We Live Now, The Sins, The Tichborne Claimant, 
The Bill].

The reviews are good but if you watch this, would you tell 
us what *you* think of Yates's direction?
