fellow feeling

The best of our human impulses, our capacity for fellow feeling, should be fairly rewarded.

"I had a great fellow feeling with Jo Hamilton," says Ms Hughes.

But the material — life under the glare of fluorescents, the joys of middle management — provides eternal inspiration and fellow feeling.

The lights go out again in a later scene, in which any fellow feeling for Jud is extinguished.

And some of the dialogue rings anachronistic, as when Judith scolds Sarah Jane for her lack of fellow feeling.
