I was right then (see post No.4). And that was before I saw it, simply based on experience here.

God you're all so predictable. I'm sure many of you watched it determined to hate it.

It was fine, really. Not great, but nicely entertaining and occasionally moving. Probably done without much rehearsal by the look of it and hardly with X-Factor production values.

I watched it with a non-folkie friend who I've had difficulty persuading to give New Year over to the Bellowhead South Bank thing. After watching the show she's definitely on for it and even looking forward. Result.
