Church hall amateur dramatics


This may we'll have an interesting story but the terrible ACTING makes it possible to be engaged

True forced enunciation of every word as if it is a separate scentance, the hilarious gesturing, the way every romantic scene looks like it's being ACTED by two awkward siblings


arghhhh

Totally agree-with the exception of a couple of the more minor characters the acting is appalling to the point of distraction. Particularly the superintendent with his excessive gurning into the camera and moustache twirling. I actually am finding it hard to watch for that reason and thinking of giving up after only 2 episodes. Shame as it is a potentially interesting story.

Surprising for a BBC production which are normally good quality-this looks as though it was thrown together pretty hastily.
