I was a huge fan of this series, I love the original too, but the new version felt like a totally different entity altogether. It was hugely entertaining, crazy, wonderfully unique, it boasted zany special effects and a host of wonderful guest stars.
Vic and Bob did a fantastic job with this, they were so funny, their timing was great, still my favourite show from the duo. Having Tom Baker as Wyvern was a genius move, his zaniness fitted in so well, the show was as crazy and eccentric as he was. Emilia Fox showed what an incredibly diverse and talented actress she was throughout this series, she was brilliant in episode 'Whatever possessed you,' showing she has a funny side too.
It boasted some great guest performances, among the most memorable being Elizabeth Spriggs, George Baker and David Tennant's, with my favourites coming from Eleanor Bron and John Michie in the utterly awesome finale 'Two can play that game.'
It had a totally brilliant theme, the song by Nina Persson was great, and who could forget the lager bubbles on the opening credits.
When I'm asked what series ended before its time, this would be in my top three. Definitely deserved a third series. A forgotten gem, 9/10.
