With the exception of Bullmore 's ghastly Rezia ( her accent is pathetic ) , the rest of the actors are Michael Kitchen as old Peter Walsh , who melds so perfectly with Alan Cox , the young Walsh , that I wondered if Gorris had got hold of a time machine and used the same actor twice ; Selina Cadell 's rough-hewed missionary Miss Kilman ; Sarah Badel 's stout and effulgent Lady Rosseter ( the aged Sally Seton ) ; Oliver Ford Davies ' lockjawed twit Hugh Whitbread ; John Standing 's anxiously settled older Dalloway ; and the lyrically foolish Lady Bruton of Margaret Tyzack , full of liberal schemes for helping the unemployed by shipping them off to Canada .
The Russian accent used by Rezia 's actress is horrible .
