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

Re: The war of the Worlds
The War of the Worlds. BBC.Well, I have to say that the BBC (to whom we pay so much) have really excelled themselves this time. It is so slow and boring.
We're just watching the third episode, 15 minutes to the end, if nothing else just to see how it finishes (I know how the original finishes).
I can't wait for the final 15 minutes to finish.
Conclusion: a film to fall asleep to. Really, I'm nodding off right now.
Done at last. No proper ending: just a woman looking up into the sky. Are the monsters dead? Is the world destroyed?
What an absolute waste of time... and our money.

Re: The war of the Worlds
I was so disappointed with this series. With modern CGI and some decent scriptwriting (rather than the usual leftist dross that Auntie prefers these days), WOTW COULD have been a really good watch. As it was, it left me wondering how fast Herbert was spinning in his grave.14-12-2019, 05:48 PM

Re: The war of the Worlds
It wasn't the WotW at all, it was some kind of love story, the Martians just being a backdrop to the story. Crap. I stopped watching it halfway through the final episode - I couldn't take it any more.The Beeb have some more classics lined up for Christmas - wonder if they'll manage to balls them up with their politically correct social message?
Will Lucy in Dracula be transgender, will Bob Cratchit be in a same-sex civil partnership, and one of the ghosts be from a black or ethnic minority?
Wouldn't surprise me. Watch this space.
