...Pandarus, Robert Buckland sacrificed any hint of the corruption or malevolence key to the text to the laughs he could milk by playing as a fawning eunuch.

None of the women is given motive or character. Their noxious insipidity if intentional is patronizing; if honestly drawn is the key to the shortcomings of Enderby...
