At first I only watched this because of the impressive use of the landscape of the west coast of Scotland, and area I'd toured earlier that year. However, I was soon pulled irresistibly into the complex, detailed storyline. Be warned - this story probably isn't good for anyone who can't keep track of several plots running concurrently. While the flashbacks can sometimes be confusing, they add so much to the story.
The acting is also wonderful. All the characters come to bright, shining life from their first appearances.
And let's face it, how many stories begin with the words "It was the day my Grandmother exploded"?
