Title: Awful 90s version.
Product review: If you know and love the original 1975-1977 TV series (shown on PBS inAmerica), then you'll hate this new dreadful version. None of thebrilliant actors from the classic BBC production took part in thismess, and it was justly despised by all fans and slammed by most UKcritics. The warmth and charm such talented actors like Robin Ellis(as the title character), Angharad Rees, Ralph Bates, Clive Francisand Judy Geeson put into the original series is totally missinghere. If you want faultless performances, theater-like atmosphere andgood quality television (mostly filmed on videotape, except for theoutdoor scenes), then you're best advised to wait for BBC to releasethe whole original series on DVD (soon please !!!) or stick with yourgood old VHS.
