Promoted To Glory

I have just watched this programme tonight and I thought it was very good, and had a good vibe to the programme, it was very good Sunday night viewing.

But can anyone help me here? I wasn't paying attention for some of it, but when, where and why Mike had gone back to being a beggar? As I am confused as I wasn't paying atttention.

Though the feeling to the ending was very odd, lively music being played when Mike had just died. But well done ITV and weirdly Thames TV for a superb piece of Drama.

He didn't actually go BACK to being a beggar. The whole programme was a dream. The scene at the end was the truth.

Nice to see quality drama values from ITV, with the programme made, of course, by Thames.

Ah right, Thanks for that Nick, I understand now, I would have watched it but the good ol' computer was playing up.

Very Dallas of them.

Indeed. This was good old ITV at its very best at Christmas. I hope this is the start of a trend away from the Cold Feet/Upwardly Mobile Young Twenty/Thirty-something/Robson-Jerome or David Jason or Ross/Steve Kemp vehicle dramas of recent years.

A refreshing change ... I got quite tearful over the ending though...

Nice to see new Poirots too. Missed the recent one(s) though... double

I thought it was crap! I know it sounds plain, but they ended it making the whole other two bits of the stroy pointless, I wanted a bog standard happy ending, not "I woke up and it was all a dream" (or similar) nice to see ITV also managied to slaot a sex scene into the drama. Nice.
