First thing to address, the theme tune, that's the biggest disappointment, it was the main thing everyone remembers, a pity they couldn't have used a take on it.
That's the only comparison I'll make to Barry Foster's version.
Good stories, gorgeous location work, Amsterdam looks amazing, and I'd say it's well acted. They made great use of the visuals, the Canal and architecture looked wonderful. Very well acted.
I would say I'm unsure about Marc Warren, I'm a huge fan of his, he's a brilliant actor, time will tell if he's right for the part. I thought he made a good start, his character could lighten up a little. Why on Earth do some have Dutch accents, and some have English ones, it's so irritating.
There is so much material out there, the works of Francis Durbridge for example, I wish commissioners would look at the work of someone like him.
I was expecting to dislike it, I thought it was good, 7/10.
