I would if something about it appealed to me, but nothing does .....

Nice horse but badly superimposed.

I didn't notice that. We know she can ride though from Poldark.

That's true. It was the horse that looked a bit odd but I was viewing the TV at a funny angle because the dog had nicked my seat.

Do you mean in the close up bit where she was galloping away & you only saw the horses head & her top half? If so I thought that a bit contrived too.

Dogs always get the best seats.

Aye, and anyone in their right mind would have jumped on that `horse` with her and rode to safety. Incidentally, did you notice that she rode back towards where the damage was coming from in the first place?

Those scenes with the special effects weren't done very well. I do love picking things apart.

Having watched the first two episodes of Good Omens on DVD last night & found that far superior.

I did notice the 'hero' being buried under a pile of railway sleepers. Where did they come from?

With all those mentions, I thought I'd tale a look at those horse scenes on iPlayer - they are, indeed, full of "inconsistencies" - the first one to strike me was when "she" clambered on to the back of the horse behind "him" - one minute she was below him, the next making herself comfortable, as though someone or something had given her a hand .....

As for that "galloping" scene, that was straight out of 1950's swashbuckers .....
