Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe main character George shares many similarities with H.G. Wells. Like George, Wells also married his cousin, only to leave her for a younger woman named Amy. The couple both moved to a house in Woking named 'Lynton,' again just like George and Amy have. It was there Wells wrote The War of the Worlds.
- GoofsThe railway line between Woking and London is shown as being run by the Great Western Railway. It should have been the London and South Western.
Featured review
I was so excited to see this, but feel so let down :-(
I'll start with the positives, the acting was good, and it was nice at least to see The BBC making sci fi, in a time when it has been sadly shoved to the back of the queue.
Unfortunately, it's a pretty poor attempt, earlier in the year I thought this was going to be a big Christmas drama, big budget, exciting, featuring Eleanor Tomlinson and Rafe Spall, I'm glad they didn't transmit this at Christmas, it would have been an even bigger disappointment. Spall and Tomlinson were wasted, they're great, but were up against it with the script.
What should have been dynamic and exciting was slow and dull, not helped by the clunky jumps forward in time.
Sometimes tinkering works, sometimes it doesn't, I fear here there was too much tinkering. Simply put this was poor, with the last episode proving a real challenge to get through. 4/10
