10/08/2014 Not hooked by the story or delivery, but I did like seeing Billie, Matt, JJ, and Julie Walters (who made a great villain). See more 06/11/2010 Billie Piper (Sally Lockhart) could not act in this movie. She sleepwalked her way through most of the action and quite a few of her lines. I got the impression that the other actors were trying to "act" around her. The script wandered all over the place and lost me on several occasions. Hope this isn't a series...I won't be watching any other episodes if Piper is in the lead... See more 05/13/2008 One of the better BBC-productions I've seen lately, although it's not something I'll be watching again. See more Read all reviews
