The Secret Agent

Have you seen Heart of Darkness, Tegan? That was another of Conrad's. It was set in the Congo, but Apocalypse Now was based on it, moving it to Vietnam.
Another one you should read.

Hadn't realised it was by Joseph Conrad. My MIL bought me a set of his books and I'm ashamed to say I never read them.

I watched the first part and thought it was very good. DH wasn't impressed though so we didn't see the rest. I think it needed concentration to get the best out of it.

I loved, loved, loved it! Great acting, and a good plot and dialogue, very moving too.Written by Joseph Conrad btw.

I enjoyed it, in the end. I like Toby Jones, but I felt Vicky McClure was somehow a bit "modern" for her role. We've just watched her chasing down Dot in Line of Duty ffs!

I didn't predict the end. Didn't realise it was filmed in Glasgow.

I felt that the series had some brilliant actors but none of them seemed suited to their roles. I, too, really rate Toby Jones. I think too many series seem to have just a handful of actors in them [I seem to recall reading an article to that effect a while back].

Oh dear I found it a tad boring.

I rate Toby Jones but this was not either his nor the BBC's finest but that is only a personal opinion obviously.

I was pleased it was only a 3 parter.

I admit to not giving the story my full attention Tegan, too distracted by the locations.

I'm afraid I didn't enjoy it at all; didn't feel the actress who played his wife felt 'of that age'. I think I would have liked it more if I'd realised it was Glasgow.
