This series makes for superb viewing. It comes up with the trumps in every area: acting, characterisation, direction, production, cinematography, music, make-up, storyline, sound, props, the whole thing. This is a class production from beginning to end and I thoroughly recommend it. It will be remembered for many years to come as the series that, like 24, changed televsion for ever.
I like the bit at the end when the spaceship comes down - really didn't see that coming...Oh, the bit when they find hitlers secret bunker filled with leather and whips etc. great homoerotic moment tastfully shot...highly recommend viewing for Christmas day and before eating large quantites of raw eggs, mixed with diesel.
