Never read the book, saw the film, thought it was a bit meh. And no disrespect to Anne Hathaway, but this is much better casting.
Nicely observed detail, slow burning story, well done all round; would have given it a 10.
But... NO ONE EVER referred to a Snakebite as 'a pint of Snakebite'.
Worse still, in the 1989 episode we're told that they're off to 'Hartwood Community Primary in Wolverhampton' which we're led to believe is a deprived inner city area... but Emma uses a map which is a good 50 years out of date, even for 1989, and clearly points to the village of Shipley, which is incidentally *still* a village and nothing to do with Wolverhampton.
All that effort, the travel budget, the great cast and all the rest of it... and but little jarring details can spoil the mood completely. All they had to do was do a bit of research and get decent props. Really, how hard can it be?
