Why did ITV only order up 90 minutes of film? Didn't they know that the results would be superficial? I love JJ Feild and Felicity Jones in their respective roles. And William Beck, though hardly visible, was suitably slimy.Vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668098318085667188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20219343.post-10209334173383029362008-01-28T08:18:00.000-08:002008-01-28T08:18:00.000-08:00Thanks anonymous for the comment.

WB is a great actor, I suppose I just had really high expectations for John Thorpe (can one even have high expectations for that man? =P)Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757048792813005486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20219343.post-20521655594426456262008-01-28T07:14:00.000-08:002008-01-28T07:14:00.000-08:00Don't go too hard on William Beck.
