3 episodes?

How can the BBC possibly expect to build an audience with such a short run? See also "Sherlock". Quality stuff is over in a flash whereas dross like "Eastenders" seems destined to run forever.

Exactly. Quality takes time and effort to produce, and isn't always universally liked.

Still 3 episodes isn't much. Should have at least been 6 episodes.

The BBC takes in over 2 billion pounds a year from their medieval licence racket and it seems very little of it appears on the screen.

And they never finished the Hitch Hiker series either. :(

Maybe they should stop pumping out crap 'comedy' and 'reality' shows?

Less than 1% of ALL Human endeavour is worthwhile!
