Having enjoyed THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE, I thought this might be an entertaining follow-on. No, it was dull, very dark, cheap-looking, slow and worst of all I could hardly hear a word of it.
This was made during the time when the BBC seemed to think that instead of a spoken script we'd prefer loud background music played over people mumbling unintelligibly.
OK, it was a daft premise as most alternative histories are but done well they can be extremely entertaining. The slightly shabby production and unmitigated misery could have been overlooked if I could have heard what they were saying but the diction was truly atrocious. To sum this up: mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble.
