Advantages: Spell-binding drama

Disadvantages: Need to watch it without interruptions

While I realise that this style of drama is not everyone's cup of tea, I found it extremely enjoyable. A brilliant cast, including Christopher Lee, June Brown and Ian Richardson meant that the quality of acting would be hard to fault. A "heavy" drama, I found it easier to tape each episode and watch through at the end. It's one of those productions which is best enjoyed when you can guarantee no interruptions...

The plot was riveting - kitchen boy manages to manipulate everyone in his path with his boyish good looks and verbal charms... He manages to rise to a position of dubious respect and destroy all around him, in the hope of obtaining ultimate power... Of course good overcomes evil... I really cannot wait for the secon and third parts of the trilogy - I think that they are calledTitus Groan and Titus Alone...
