Still, good isn't bad these days. The actors are all talented (except for Amelia, whose role is almost impossible to play as she's such a weak sap); the direction brisk, the settings well done. The use of Madonna's Material Girl is jarring however, as are other references to modern music. Still, if you've got seven hours and want to travel back to the England in the time of the Napoleonic Wars, and you enjoy a show where the leading lady is conniving and cruel, you could do a lot worse.
