To think this fantastic story could be condensed into 34 minutes if beyond me - I've been waiting a long time for Lot 249 to be adapted to the big screen, its so worthy. I felt the acting was good but you cant set the mood or scene in such a short amount of time. Why Gatiss couldn't stick to the original story line, the BBC always twist the originals. The link to Sherlock Holmes and the -'Sussex Vampire' was great but again not needed, Gatiss should remain flat footed. Kit Harrington i personally felt made a great Smith but would bring the character to life in a full length feature. One of my favorite story's, just not long enough.
