Shame as I thought it really good up to then and weaving it back to the continuing saga was clever in the end but just a bit too overblown.<br /><br />Dr Who I thought was the best of the latest series - it suffers from poor writing these days and there isn't the suspense and scary drama in it. To that end I loved ITVs reworking of Jeckyll and Hyde and thought it clever to move it forward in time from the original one with links back. But then started all the "it's too scary for this early in the evening" then that lead to rescheduling - one episode even on a Wed evening after the first watershed. When did we have to protect our children from mild peril in an obviously fictional drama tv show? Real shame it was bashed out like this - I thought it really good. It's replacement - Beowulf - that I'd been looking forward to was a let down frankly as was War and Peace, great locations and setting all let down with an unengaging script and some frankly limp acting.<br /><br />Stickman was good and the highlight was undoubtedly... Shawn the Sheep and the Farmer's Llamas - just brilliant!Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-42656667328201144082016-01-05T12:49:23.665+00:002016-01-05T12:49:23.665+00:00Yes, I watched it on i-player the day after I thin...Yes, I watched it on i-player the day after I think!Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-41999193877235292462016-01-05T01:23:47.753+00:002016-01-05T01:23:47.753+00:00We missed "Call the Midwife" because we ...We missed "Call the Midwife" because we were having too much fun.
