    • Trivia
      Scenes of Masden first encountering the children were filmed in the English village of Turville in Buckinghamshire. This photogenic village is best known as the setting for the English sitcom The Vicar of Dibley (1994), but also appears in numerous other TV shows including Midsomer Murders (1997), Jonathan Creek (1997), Part 1 (1985), Goodnight Mr Tom (1998) and most recently Killing Eve (2018). It is also overlooked by the Cobstone windmill which is featured in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968).

    Oh dear, another mangled remake

    Why, oh why do people think it is a great idea to remake a hugely successful and gripping novel, and completely screw around with the plot and characters. Nothing in this remake adds to the original, instead it twists it into a laughable and contrived mess. There are plot holes throughout - and god knows where all those automatic machine guns came from in the heart of England.

    Heaven knows why writers/producers would take what was a proved winner, as demonstrated in the 1981 BBC series, and entirely rip its heart out. Very, very disappointing.
