.... There's no doubt in my mind that this is a well produced series. Well written, well acted etc etc etc. The only problem I have is that it is based on a 1970's book set in the 1970's and,oddly, feels like it was actually made in the 1970's (with a low budget).
It feels like someone has scoured the archive and found this series hidden away on a back shelf; unseen for years. The only modern attributes are that it is in colour and HD. That's it!
It has a look of series you can find on the Talking Pictures Channel. Not sure why it was commissioned for Channel 5. I would be surprised if it were to attract many viewers; simply because there is nothing new here. 6 out of 10.
