It seems to be becoming a 'cult' with the BBC to produce most of it's plays in the darkest possible conditions. First everyone was mumbling now they seem to be mumbling in the dark.

I agree with PRINTMISS - I'm intrigued. Not quite sure what's going on some of the time but I love the dialogue (use subtitles) and the expressions and the brave eccentricity of it.

Well I enjoyed "Home Fires" on ITV at the same time. No need for subtitles or torches to hear or see what's going on.

I gave up halfway through last night. I started to feel as though I was watching Harry Potter for grown ups and couldn't be bothered any longer. The special effects, sets and acting are fine and if there had only been one or two more episodes I'd probably have stuck with it. But seven hours is a big commitment.

Yes. "Harry Potter for grown ups". Very good.

I tried to watch it and did get through to the end of the episode, but don't feel motivated to watch five more. I would need to care about the characters and I don't. It took me some time to find out which of the young men was Jonathan Strange! confused So I will find some other way to fill my Sunday evenings.
