Featured review
Excellent I thought.
The Ruby in the smoke is one of those dramas I dig out regularly to watch, it looks as fresh and new as the day it went out, it has aged very well.
The story is brilliant, and it translates very well from text to screen, if you haven't read the book, I urge you too, it's a terrific read.
It's such a shame that more of the Sally Lockhart mysteries weren't made, this and the follow up are very enjoyable.
The acting, Piper is wonderful I thought, she comes across as very charismatic, the character is believable. It's hard however not to comment on the sheer majesty of Julie Walters, she is off the scale here, her acting is incredible, she goes from amusing to evil in a flash, what a great.
It's well worth seeing, 8/10.
