Dull, formulaic stuff. The only saving grace is that the characters are probably authentic representations of the boring dullards that caused the catastrophe they project. No doubt representative of the BBC in many respects. It reminds me of a dreadfully bad Brideshead Revisited: similar characters but so much poorly acted with dreadfully poor attention to cultural issues. Some of the actors should really know better but they don't seem too concerned when it comes to selling their cultural souls down the river. It really is the most tedious viewing and I am astonished that any sentient viewer can find this the least bit stimulating. What a dreadful little parade.
