Where Adam Stood (1976 TV Movie)
6/10
Interesting, but oh so slow
12 April 2005
This is a very interesting piece. The subject matter is fascinating - a naturalist who is a member of the Plymouth Bretheren at the time of Darwin. How does he reconcile his science with his religion? And how does his little son cope with it all? Well, it takes an age to find out (or so it seems).

The acting is good. The beach scenes are atmospheric. But oh, this piece is so slow.

There are glimpses of Potteresque greatness in this piece, but I wouldn't use it as a starting point for Potter or your dalliance with Potter might be short-lived.
