Judi Dench declared that we could all do with some 'levity' and 'cheering up'.
The great dame enters that spirit with a deliciously comic masterclass as clairvoyant Madame Arcati in a new film version of Noel Coward's 1941 dark comedy Blithe Spirit.
It features Charles Condomine, a playboy novelist who invites the eccentric medium to conduct a seance which inadvertently conjures up Elvira, the writer's first wife.
The marvellous conceit is that the husband is the only person who can see the ghost.
'The secret is,' Judi told me, 'that Madame Arcati certainly believes in herself and her powers, though she exaggerates one thing.'
