  So Dissapointing
  
  This was poor, I mean really bad. From this director we were expecting something, well, good. No this is rubbish. Sorry.

  Great script. Keeps your attention. Intricate detail in the plot. Good actors create the tension and put the humour in context.

  Slow and ponderous with some unexplained scenes. This is the first DVD we have stopped watching part way through.
