This is a period movie length drama from the BBC that others probably would have turned into a lengthy miniseries. It felt like there was certainly lots of possible material to pad it out if they had gone down that route.
I gather the budget for this was quite tight due to current cuts at the BBC. It doesn't show mostly, but it felt a little under resourced at times.
Nevertheless its well acted by the whole cast and a very enjoyable story, especially given its based on true, if very unusual, events.
Natalie adds some glamor whilst Shaun Evans plays the eccentric husband in only a way he can.
Recommended.
