Overall: 3.25
Lis Bird (16Mar13): Bland, boring and slow. Nearly fell asleep several times in first half. Second half a bit better. Teddy Kempner, Katie Lee, Alex Young and Sophie Bould did their best with overproduction. Other main characters insignificant. Michael Praed looked awkward and can't sing. So disappointed in thisshow
