You wouldn't think it possible to assemble such a cast of wonderful actors, a good plot line and yet end up with a complete load of rubbish. When it should have the velocity of a runaway train this limped along like every single tyre on the coach was flat and they hadn't packed a spare. Nigel Havers character and his sidekick were completely unnecessary and added absolutely nothing to the storyline as evidenced by the fact he just dropped out halfway through. The shock horror moment at the end when the ashes were scattered fell completely flat as we all knew he had killed his wife as one of the women found the bullet in the ashes - but this was never spoken of again! This could have been so much more, but ended up being so much less!
