Decent production values and (with a couple of exceptions) excellent performances let down by a bizarrely uneven script.
I can forgive most of the numerous historical inaccuracies but the idea that a group of men from Lancashire have hardly heard of cricket is insulting - "Bowling?" I get the idea is to show a class distinction but cricket is a working-class sport up north, a strange misunderstanding of British culture.
