A simply extraordinary film, a whole life story of incredible event, romances, friendships and tragedies. It was - well, no, we had actually seen Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter - but it was the first time we'd investigated William Boyd. We first watched it 13-14 December 2010. It won the BAFTAs for Best Drama Serial and for Dan Jones' music (which I just love), and Wojciech Szepel and Jim Broadbent and Gillian Anderson were nominated. And costumes, make up/hair. Tim Murrell's editing is amazing.
Leading to th two big mysteries: Why wasn't Will even nominated for Best Screenplay and why wasn't Murrall?? Peter Bowker won for Eric & Ernie; Five Daughters, Getting On and fucking The Inbetweeners were nominated!
The sound - Nigel Heath, Alex Sawyer (dialogue editor), Adam Armitage (sound effects editor) and Alistair Crocker - was also nominated - it's extremely good, and not just the way in which the sound is often pulled out of a scene.
Poor Logan - you sense if his wife and child had not have been killed, he would have been all right.
More about locations coming..
Can't argue with this.
