It’s also already in the news that it’s going to be enormously watered-down and deeply altered to meet current sentiments.
Interesting.
The cast certainly looks good.
The only slight concern I have (as Rabbit mentioned) is if they try and dumb it down to avoid a frenzy of complaints to Ofcom, but I’ll reserve my full judgement until I watch it.
I wonder if a cover of "Bright Eyes” will be featured?
