...so there was I, having wandered back from the pub at 10.50 - an early night - switched on t'telly to watch an hour of CSI NewYork and what happened? I pressed the button for BBC4 by mistake and what did I get? Only this garbage. For the first ten minutes or so I couldn't make head nor tail of it and then I clicked on the guide.

So this was supposed to be late '60's Accy? Gob****e! Everything was wrong, rangeing from the architecture to the school - supposidly a primary school, but it looked like a secondary mod. to me. I see on the credits that it was adapted from the book by Mz. Winterton herself. Well, thank god I never read the book.

However, worse is to come...there's another episode on next week. I wonder how much this nonsense has cost the honest license fee payer? An absolute disgrace - shame on you, BBC.

Anyway, I've now got Mad Men on t'other channel. why can't the BBC make summat like this, instead of having to buy it in?
