this be the most excruciating and teeth grindingly slow and incomprehensible piece of television i have ever sit through . it be almost unbelievable that this once receive over three hour of christmas prime time terrestrial television programming . if anyone out there have see this and can tell me anything about what be go on at virtually any moment of the proceeding after the author van blow up and can they please e mail me and enlighten accordingly . i felt that this could have be at least an hour shorter but perhaps the extreme length be part of the maker intention . certainly there be many striking image and memorable line of dialogue but i find the pace to be impossible to bear at one sit . nevertheless and a very brave piece .
