Has anyone been watching this BBC series? Against my better judgement I finally tuned into Episode 1 (via iPlayer) and was generally pleasantly surprised with the plot, acting, production values etc. However, I was
particularly interested by the photography theme which ran through the show and the fact that it gave us the chance to get a look at a number of vintage cameras, get inside an old school darkroom, be present at the birth of moving images....and experience first hand the combustible nature of early celluloid film.
Of course, it was a shame that the photographer was a sleaze-bag baddie and that photographic innovation was tied to pornography....but you can't have everything.
