Still great after six years.
I've just tonight watched this for the second time...the first time was when it premiered in 2005...I really liked it a lot then and always wanted to see it again....six years later and I can safely report that it's still great.
Ferdinand Fairfax is one of these great directors who I can definitely say is one of my favorites. He understands about shots...about how to stay wide and stay back...and also about shot length...ASL...Average Shot Length...(which is incredibly important to me). This is a man who also directed some meticulously detailed stuff...Danger UXB, Jeeves and Wooster and The Last Place on Earth. He gets the detail spot on again here in this Egypt series, of which he directed all six parts!
My only criticisms about it are that 1) The American was clearly a brit actor playing a American. 2) The flash backs looking like 50% of of the colour has been taken out.
But anyway...this is great and I believe it to be one of the last great BBC productions.
