“Possibly one of the best dramas of this year so far.”

“Apart from suiting a BBC4 budget, the advantages of this theatrical approach include a refreshing lack of flashiness and a chance for the actors to shine. The main disadvantage...is that the result can be a bit stagey.”

“... overshadowed by the great Doctor Who, for whom this plot was tailor-made.”
