Definitely worth a watch, perhaps a little slow moving.

Minister of Tourism, Harvey Fenton Jones has an elaborate plan to move Stonehenge to London, he forms a committee, and brings in Oxford Professor Reeve. Reeve's daughter stars behaving very oddly.

'Stone monuments and curses go together.'

It's not bad, it's an interesting enough story, I think the way it'a produced is perhaps just a little uninspiring, it's definitely not an imaginative dramatisation.

Well acted for sure, with some imaginative themes and ideas, and I did enjoy the twist at the end. There's enough here to make me want to track down the rest of the series.

I've tried to think of a recent drama or series where stones are central, or even feature, and I can't, but transport yourself back to the 1970's, and there are plenty, Stone Circle, Doctor Who's Stones of Blood, and many more, more fashionable back then?

What a list of names, the likes of Richard Pasco, Judy Parfitt, TP McKenna, Willoughby Goddard and Michael Sheard, so many well known faces.

6/10.
