7/10

I take it the lighting budget was pretty pale.

Whicher is hired by a powerful political figure, to look into threats made to his son by a man he met in India.

I enjoyed it, well, what I could see of it anyway, I wondered if my set was on the blink, as I could hardly see or make anything out, cut to an external, daytime shot, and normality, there's a distinction between subtle lighting, and needing candles around the TV set.

It's an interesting mystery, I really did like the story, and what I could see of the production values, it looks wonderfully well made, with terrific sets and costumes.

I seriously miss Tim Piggot Smith, what a terrific actor he was, he put in a wonderfully whiskered performance, Nancy Carroll was great too, Paddy Considine stole it with another awesome performance.

It is good, but the lighting is unforgivable, it deserves a higher score, but for me it's worthy of a 7/10..... It's better than that.

Anecdotes
The various autobiographical details that Jack Whicher gives are correct. His father, Richard Whicher, was indeed a gardener, and Jack did indeed have a son called Jonathan who died young.

Gaffes
Whicher tells his landlady that his baby son died when he (Whicher) was still trying to make a name for himself in the police force. However, the son's gravestone shows that he died in 1855 and Whicher was one of the eight officers who originally formed Scotland Yard's Detective Division, thirteen years earlier in 1842.
