Only 3 episodes?

Why are they only filming three episodes? Why are BBC so cheap? They've got Anna Chancellor and Miranda Richardson, for Pete's sake, they should show a lot more confidence and commission a full-length (UK length) series!

I agree, a mere three episodes will only be an introduction, hopefully the 3 episodes mentioned are perhaps only the 3 that have been made and the others are still in production.

Thanks for the link! Yay, Mark Gatiss as Benjy!

(But it does sound as though they're only doing 3 eps. Harumph!)

Gatiss did Sherlock Holmes in sets of three, this migbt be the same?

After watching about 15 mins of this, I can see why they only did 3 eps. I doubt they'll make any more.

Given the declining ratings for episode 2, three is all we going to get. Its rather a misfire!

Its that man again!!
