After only half seeing this on TV back in 99 I have waited through over a year of missed release dates for the region 2 DVD release. It was well worth the wait.
Despite its length it easily stands up to being viewed in one sitting. The acting in this production is wonderful, and the whole improbability of the plot adds to the surrealistic feel of the production.
It's hard to think that this one was made for TV - a massive well done to the BBC for a first rate production. I loved it. It seems that 190min films featuring Andy Serkis are a recipe for success!
