Actress Jemma Redgrave said of the role; "Gale is completely cold-hearted and calculating, which was an irresistible challenge after playing someone was intensely warm as Eleanor in Bramwell. I really liked the contrast, plus the fact that Gale was so open to interpretation. She's a real chameleon. Just as you think you’re working her out, she changes again."[2] The film was released on VHS on 22 May 2000. This remains the only home video release to date.[3]
