Re: Birdsong
Found this dramatisation painfully slow, lacking in any sort of story content, albeit the sets and costumes were up to the usual BBC standards.
I found Eddie Redmayne's 'smouldering stare' (thank you Gordon) overly long and quite scary ... still filled in the weak script, I suppose. If anybody looked at me like that, would think him a bit of a lurcher rather than a besotted admirer.
The death of the hero was reminiscent of a scene from Blackadder:
"That one's not breathing ... throw him on the dead pile"
"Ah, miracles ! He breatheth"
"Ok, back to the trenches .... (mutter) more paper work"
Have stretched it a little, but did make me laugh. Think this was far fetched though.
Nevertheless, will watch the concluding part.
