i watched the original version when at stirling university in the late '70s - largely because i fancied demelza (though this probably finished when i saw debbie harry in her wee yellow dress on top of the pops) the new version is good -though a sort of guilty pleasure. i hadn't realised before how radical it was - pretty good socialism with a valid message for our times. or maybe i'm justifying myself for watching it as ross is so dreamy. oops, meant demelza. obviously.
