I am extremely biased regarding this production as i was an extra (according to BBC correspondence 'supporting artist'). It was a good laugh, you can see me in some of the scenes as a 'butler', a 'man on the street', and a 'tourist'. That guy sheffield was camp as hell, but david warner was cool. he even gave me one of his cigars. The actual series was quite boring when I watched it but there ya go.
