"Much in Little"
shrbw26 March 2008
It was a T.V. series, not a big budget film, but you wouldn't think that once you have started to watch it. The episodes manage to cram in so much, and range so far and wide, that you really get the impression of a country at war at a variety of levels.

A literate script deals with the different aspects of the story lines with economy and fluency. Care is taken to create a period atmosphere that looks authentic, there is good characterisation (even the fascist sympathiser is seen as a well rounded person with his own motives), and excellent acting......but it doesn't stop there.

The Dunkirk episode manages to create an evocation of a mighty event so successfully, and on such a limited budget, that it bears comparison with the sequence in Atonement.

One of the best things that British television has produced in recent years.

What Class Struggle
hexa-227 August 2002
Warning: Spoilers
When the first ep started I thought "OH Oh Pommy Class differences again, Ho hum" But as it progressed (spoiler coming up)I started to laugh. At the wedding with Gran as drunk as a Skunk giving the toffs the rounds of the kitchen e.g. "If she hadn't have got her knickers off in such a hurry, our lad would have married a nice East End girl!" US of A viewers can contact me for a glossary of terms. Do not miss this under any circumstances!!
