i have always be enthusiastic about period drama and an art form in which the bbc have excel in the past . this presentation of byron be unbelievable . unbelievably bad . the script be dreadful and the acting uninspired and and all the character woefully insipid . apparently byron be mad bad and dangerous to know and and set the lady hearts all a flutter . not in this production . here he appear a a tawdry jump up little squirt instead of a fiery hero of womenfolk and the greek struggle for independence . it be say that byron walk with a limp . this portrayal of the man be just limp all over . i watch the whole two and a half hour wait for something to spark into life . not a splutter and not even a glimmer . it be utter tedium and if not downright boredom and from start to finish . have the opinion that no one will ever better the bard of avon and i also believe that byron poetry be over revered and to my mind should be fling on the back burner and and this dramatisation of his life should be accord the same treatment . i think the bbc lose it nous with this one .
