The new UK Drama channel dusts off this 3 parter from 17 years ago and...
The story unfolds so slowly that one loses not so much interest as the will to live. The direction is plodding, obvious and boring - there are enough knowing looks between characters to fill a warehouse even before the audience is aware of anything for there to be knowing looks about. The acting is OK, although it should be noted that Daniel Craig can't do a Scots accent to save his life. It may have been OK at half the length, but I doubt it.
For the health Nazis among us, there are vast amounts of drinking and, especially, smoking.
I was not impressed at all.
