Just watching the documentary now. Looks great - wish I lived near Bristol.
Well, not really, but wish I was visiting!! (No offence to Bristolians, but I like my Northern hills!)
I can't really understand all the negativity. I don't see this evidence of the show having abandoned the story's integrity. Okay, the Amazons' war dance doesn't really have an original in the book (but it's very Secret Water, so it's hardly against the spirit of the stories).
Genuinely intrigued: what's the problem?
