Ignore the Nay-sayers. After a slow start, this mini-series takes on a barmy life of its own. It's daft, funny, at times full of suspense and poses some interesting moral conundrums about love, family, loyalty, doing the right thing and being accountable. I couldn't help rooting for them, although they really didn't deserve it! The acting is lovely and it's wonderful to find a drama with the excellent Warren Clarke (RIP) really pulling out all the stops. Jenny Agutter is sublime and Antony Head is still gorgeous, even as a criminal. At times the interactions are really moving, especially in the last few episodes. No spoiler alerts, but the final episode was a blast!
Not going to give any spoiler alerts; suffice it to say this indie film has heart, intrigue, mystery and a slightly Dr Who feel to it (in a good way). Suspend disbelief for a while and enjoy the ride.
What a lovely, absorbing film reflecting on the vagaries of the human condition and reminding us of the value of love, communication and friendship. I noticed the quality of the light - especially golden hour - which gave an ethereal feel to the proceedings. Thank you to all concerned. I already want to watch it again!
