Brilliant, fantastic, creative, wonderful, surprising - loads of other luvvy type adjectives.

Hijack a train station for a modernised opera and do it all live. Fantastically high production qualities and a brilliant show all around.

Watch out for repeats.

Yeah, that looked like an ambitious but interesting project, pity I missed it through work/having no TV at the moment Sad

Outstanding. Technically and artistically it was a total triumph - and I'm not overstating it.

Well done BBC Three.

(Edit - Was it BBC Two earlier this evening? I caught the repeat)

Nope BBC Three live (with the odd VT drop-in - spot the daylight on the final train sequence!) 2000-2100 and then repeated again on Three 2200-2300.

Very ambitious - but very confidently done. Many of the craft and production credits are names you'd expect to see on a Proms broadcast, with a couple you might also see on Top of The Pops!

I caught it half way through and thought Confused: WTF. I belive it as only 15 or 10mins
