I don't have the box yet so can't get BBC 3 or 4, but I did read the source trilogy of novels recently and I wondered whether they worked on screen.

No doubt it'll be repeated on BBC 2 in a matter of weeks, but I'm just curious to know whether Patrick Hamilton has been done justice here.

i'd say solid rather than spectacular.

I've done my usual trick of persuading my workplace that it's a vital resource to make available to students... on a DVD copy... that I can then borrow... and play on my computer. Result!

But um, yeah I won't have seen it until after Saturday, so can't comment yet. Love the books though.

Fuck me! I only *just* realised that the title is a - blindingly obvious - Jules Verne ref! What an idiot.
