While Stephen Graham and Jason Tobin are excellent as usual ,the rest of the cast very average ,the Mary Carr role totally ridiculous sort of an intellectual scally ? .Thr biggest elephant in this is the script ,awfully written and unbelievable ,waste of two great actors sadly .It could be so much better with decent cast such a let down really .Its only when Stephen Graham and Jason Tobin are in scenes its watchable .Although the scenes of London are very accurate and adds to the feel of the times ,how dangerous andsqualidnit must of been to live in those times .Im suprised at the casting of this to be honest ,poor casting really spoils any show this proving the point .
