Whilst I don&#8217;t think the show was by any means perfect, I thought it was well produced and deserving of more that it got. I think Escoffey might be a problem &#8211; he&#8217;s not initially as charming as Derren Brown (and charm is so important in this kind of thing), and indeed there is\/was something of an irritating nerd being cool about him, a sort of Simon Amstell pre-good <em>Popworld<\/em>. But somewhere during episode two something clicked and I was quite enjoying his performance, the more of a devious bastard he became the more I enjoyed it. Therefore I hope the other four episodes get broadcast somewhere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edit:<\/strong> It&#8217;s also <strong>the BAFTAs <\/strong>tonight at 8pm on BBC1.
