I’ve never read any of the books, but when I saw this on TV over Easter, I really fancied seeing it – and I’m glad I did. It’s an odd mix, and a bit difficult to describe. It’s not really drama, ‘cos there’s a lot of very light-hearted moments. It’s not comedy, though – several bits made me smile a great deal, but there’s a lot of darkness here, particularly near the end.

Overall, just… kinda nice. And you don’t get to say that often enough, methinks.
