Advantages: Escapism from planet Earth.

Disadvantages: Feel obliged to read the book.

Surely the best serialised drama on British T.V for some time. A sureal setting, excellent characterisation and a captivating plot all make perfect escapism. Not to mention a wonderful cast. I can empathise completely with the heroine's dilema and divided loyalty between her brother and the man who tries to seduce her. Gormenghast is gripping right to the end and we are left wondering if the social upheavals we have witnessed will mean the end of an empire. Plea to the BBC: repeats please !
