Do you know, I acquired the DVD of that production years ago, and still haven't watched it because I remember having seen the odd scene and it was ALL SO DAMN DARK. And that's despite having McKellan and Dench in the leads.

I spent the first episode or two going, MUPPETS? Not to mention the strange waily noise at the end of the credits music. Then I fell for the show, despite its having such strange attributes as a bloke with a thong on his face. It was very odd seeing Browder and Black in Stargate without the sexual chemistry between them!
