William Rackham is considered by his Father to be pathetic and everything he does is useless, until he meets a prostitute named Sugar, Sugar gives William confidence, while William offers a new life for Sugar.
I have not been fond of old period dramas and British telly is full of period dramas, but when I saw the advert for this show, I was dazzled by the character Sugar, this show seemed to have a dark quality to it that drew me in. So, I watched it and I have to say, I was blown away by the cast, script and overall production values that the BBC have put in making this show, especially after they cancelled one of my favourites, 'Survivors'.
The audience receives a brief but powerful insight into the world of Victorian England, the elitist behaviour that divides a country, I have not read the novel, but I am a firm believer that a novel is usually much better than a live production, so I will read the novel.
Keep on producing quality dramas!
score 10/10
