Pretty much anything with Damien Lewis will get me interested as I think he's a fine actor but I didn't really enjoy his performance in this. I felt he was a bit wooden. Adrian Edmondson was very good but ironically, I thought Anna Maxwell Martin was right up there. Ironic, of course, because she played a completely fictional character which is completely unnecessary in a story of this kind. Ben McIntyre had written yet another fascinating book but for some inexplicable reason, The TV people have done this. Not inexplicable at all really, I'm sure we can all see why a fictional northern, woman married to a black man was added to the story.
