I’ve never been sure that it could be ‘done’ in visual medium and I am intrigued, if somewhat cautious about watching it. That said, having taken the opportunity to see Benedict Cumberbatch reading some extracts at the Cheltenham Festival I think he has measure of the man, but how that will translate into the linear narrative arc suggested for a televisual format I’m not sure. My feeling is that it’s success, or otherwise will lie in how the screenplay was adapted and how much the audience is willing to accept such a nuanced and difficult portrayal of a ‘Golden’ era, especially with Downton Abbey returning shortly.
