Benjamin Myers must be absolutely fuming after seeing the Final Cut of an adaptation of his historical fiction about King David Hartley...
First of all, he would be extremely excited to hear that someone has decided to take this project on, and even more delighted to hear that it's someone as talented as Shane. But seriously, what is this?
If you're going to do a period drama in Yorkshire then why lead the viewer into 1980s Derbyshire and into a world that appears to be improvised and frankly dull because we don't have a script yet and have no idea why what we're trying to achieve. It may improve but it has an awful feeling of being made up as they go along. That might be the way Shane operates but.. All I could think was that at any minute they were going to all sack it off and go and watch the 1986 World Cup... Very poor. 💩
