  1. Very faithful adaptation

    08 October 2009
    This really captures the spirit of John Wyndam's book, and for a tv adaptation is surprisingly faithful to the novel. There are some really nice performances, and the pace of the whole thing is just right. Basically, a classic BBC drama adaptation. Can't recommend it enough for fans of the book.
