The doctor will be along shortly. You have my word, you won't be harmed.

Ben Kingsley is Doctor Silas Lamb, the superintendent of

a gabled, gothic asylum in the snowy highlands. But is Lamb really who he claims to be? And

what's Michael Caine doing down in that basement? The answers are revealed in Stonehearst Asylum.

I don't mean to harm you, Mr Ogre. I just want to see your hair.

Oh good God.

(Xan) Catherine, this is kind of cheesy old rubbish but I quite liked it

(Catherine) Yeah, I was really not looking forward to it. I think any British film with the word

asylum in it is never a good start. But it does make a weirdly good double bill with

The Falling. Good in a good way. It's really quite jolly, sort of what British cinema almost

should be for, or almost was in the old days. (Xan) Oh yeah

(Catherine) This is it, I sort of loved it from very early on when Jim Sturgess, who's

a doctor who's come to work at this asylum, the DiCaprio part to some extent, chats somebody

up with the line "I doubt lepers are so charming" (laughs) I'm going to use that!

(Xan) You'll have ample opportunity around the office!

(Peter) Only with journalists instead of lepers, yeah

(Catherine) I thought it was great. I thought the one genius move was to give Kate Beckinsale

something to do after all these years (Xan) Yeah, a lot of piano playing

(Catherine) (laughs) You know, a lot of being batty. All she gets to do generally is just

wear rubber and jump about a bit.

Do as I say. Leave, now.

Eliza, please! Eliza! Please! (gasps)
