It got a good review in today's Guardian (www.guardian.co.uk and search for Ransome) which concluded "the man was an absolute dude" and encouraged the reviewer to revisit the books.
For most people, it might have seemed a concocted programme - introducing the idea that AR was a spy, double agent and diamond smuggler, then concluding he wasn't. He came out of it well I thought - a deeper character than most would have thought.
