What a load of sub-soap-operatic bilge.
One episode of this was as much as I could take. What with the insufferably freeloading Prince Yakimov (played by Ronald Pickup) and the plot which was more boring than the most boring soap opera.
What/where is the unique value of this piece? The dialogue is pedestrian and little of any real consequence happens in the entire first episode. Perhaps it gets better later on, by why take a chance and invest another 5 hours of your time after such a poor first episode?
There needs to be either some much deeper "philosophical" dialogue or something of consequence needs to happen.
