My wife i are enjoying this light hearted whimsical version of what was no doubt a very serious situation in the history of English Parliament. There are indeed a lot of blanks to fill and there is absolutely no building on any of the characters except John Stonehouse, his wife and girlfriend Sheila. His poorly thought out and executed escape plan falls apart very rapidly and it's shear gaul and outrageous behavior that both gets him into and out of his various predicaments. Not everyone seems to particularly care for the light hearted almost flippant manner in which this story unfolds but as longtime fans of British humor, we love it and find it a welcome change of pace from the normal fare.
