mickeyone	The big problem was that there was no empathy with any of the characters - some good acting from some of the cast, but I felt as if I was on the outside looking in. I also felt that the whole piece was rather bland - a competent but uninspired view of the excesses of the 80's.
Manager Man	... but agree it was not outstanding.
JK2006	Didn't like Dan Stevens - nowhere near sensitive and sweet as Nick Guest in the book; somehow rather beefy and straight. Also hate Tim McInnerny (he was the worst Frank'n'Furter in the Rocky Horror show I've ever seen - Tim in fishnet stockings is NOT a pretty sight). I found the TV adaptation irritating and simplistic. Sorry, Andrew Davies; not on a par with Bleak House.
