Are they trying to portray poor folks as Northern ๐Ÿ˜†

I'll give it another few mins, then I'm turning it over.

Apparently Noah was a street brawling Mancunian - who knew?

I didn't believe a word of it when I was 7 years old, switched off after 5 minutes.

Only watch things you believed when you were 7?

I thought it was quite well done - up until 5 minutes before the end when they appeared to runout of budget.

Have to agree about the end-either they ran out of money or realised they had to cram half the story into the last 5 minutes--and failed.

Gave up after an hour when they were still sorting out the domestic arrangements.

I was hoping for lots of thunder and lighting and zebras and stuff.

Disappointing.

I turned over after 1/2 an hour..

Just not the quality of programme I kinda expect from the BBC. They could have made the programme 1/2 the length and got more into it, even flocks of roaming wildebeest or sommat.

Strikes me it was a good concept spoiled by "handicam man" a portrait of angsty rough and ready types as Northern English folk.

3/10

Yep. Bit under whelmed. Didn't try and do anything clever with the story and was rather dull. It felt like they tried to make a 2 parter, took the first part to the execs who then pulled the plug on the 2nd part.

I thought it was ok up to the point I realised it wasn't a two part thing. The last 5 min were just a bit 'meh'.

The wide shots of the desert were impressive as was the barren landscape, but where did Frank get all the timber from, there was hardly a shrub in sight.
