[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 344066, member: 8"] Five, maybe six episodes. And then I plonked it into the wheelie bin with all the might I could muster. I was so angry, I felt betrayed. It wasn't about the money spent on the box set, it was about the soap that wasn't meant for me. In hindsight, perhaps I should have known. After all, if it had taken me so many years to watch it then maybe I never[I] really [/I] wanted it to begin with. The (spontaneous) purchase was based on a childhood memory, I remembered my mother and aunts talking about it. And since they also liked Peyton Place and Who Pays The Ferryman I figured I would like [I]this[/I] series too. Patsy Kensit is a huge fan of U/D, and her sexy voice describing the characters and events almost, [I][B]almost[/B][/I] made me reconsider. I'm not saying it's not good and I'm sure there are parts in it I would enjoy, but the overall vibe I got from the "Christmassy" characters and drab sets (including the upstairs rooms) wasn't a very pleasant one.
