However, the case intervenes in the fortuity. The fate suddenly smiled to William: he falls in love.

User Reviews

Predictable but solid.

Everything that's going to happen seems very obvious but it's still nice to watch. They could have tried taking some risks with the plot. Eccleston's involvement not much more than a cameo but Wilkinson is just as accomplished an actor and the younger cast do a damn good job of it. It's very English though if you like that then you'll appreciate this. It's a damn sight better than Seat 25 anyway.
