BBCiPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05ns9lx I have to admit that I had my doubts about this production at the beginning. The plot did not seem to be getting anywhere, and director Gaynor MacFarlane’s use of a narrator commenting on the characters’ behavior seemed more intrusive than dramatically satisfying.

There hasn’t been a more intense or convincing performance on television all year. In fact, in many a long year. Why do you think it was so popular? It clearly tapped...
