Holy cow. This was truly shocking. So poor was this programme, so self-righteous, pretentious, so, so, oh words don't serve. The worst part is surely the 'bad guy' portrayals. If he is snobby, he is the most snobby man ever born, arrogant, the most arrogant man ever... well you get the picture, the silly stereotypes are quite childish in their invention. The main characters are excruciatingly smug, so much so you just want to smack 'em, so much so, you are hoping the 'evil man' in each episode will get away with it and come back for some revenge. This means you can feel nothing for them, you care not for the outcome, which takes all involvement right out. I found myself uncontrollably laughing at some points, such was the disbelief at was I seeing. Any moment on screen is accompanied with filler music and unexplained slow mos. The worst thing I have seen from the BBC.
