both tangible and touchable, this is real stuff, 24 August 2000
10/10
Author: (acacia@ntlworld.com) from Nottingham, England

One of the most fantastic dramas I have ever seen. There is good writing and there is pure genius. This exemplifies quality tv production - there is nothing I can say to put into words just exactly how wonderful this drama is. I am absolutely lost for words
