The BBC's television adaptation of The War of the Worlds was announced several years ago.
It has then been stuck in some post production hell and has been broadcast in several countries already.
The series in being burnt off opposite I'm a celebrity, get me out of here! on ITV.
The problems are evident in the first episode, it is stodgy, slow to get going and Rafe Spall is bland. When you see Eleanor Tomlinson on a horse, you think you might be watching Poldark.
The show is set in England of the early 1900s. There are meteors falling on the English countryside, some people believe they are from Mars. Eventually you get some action with the Martian reveal. By this time you know this will be a slog.
