I thought this was going to be one long Adam Ant video starting the little bloke from Top Gear. I caught the first one by accident and it was actually very good, fun and entertaining plus lovely to look at. The second episode was a bit far fetched but you have to keep in the spirit! Its coming to terestrial this week I think so would recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

Thank goodness for that. I accidentally caught episode 2 and would love to see the whole thing. Will keep any eye out for it. Cheers Davros

I loved it - we decided to give the first one 20 minutes as the trailers looked crap, but it was wonderful!

Watched the lot (cried at the end ) - really, really enjoyed it. Looked very good, script and plot amused me and I'm very,very taken with David Tennant (and the guy who played Rocco was a bit of all right, too).

I even did a little light Googling on Casanova after and I'm surprised how accurate it was to much of his autobiogaphy - most of the wierdest(marrying castrato singers, starting the french lottery) were taken straight from the source.

Watched episode one again last night and enjoyed it even more. I said that episode two was far fetched, not knowing that it was based on truth, e.g. French lottery, so I will watch that with less disbelief. I don't think David Tennant is that good looking, a bit rat faced, but he is certainly a sexy Casanova!

He's not that good looking but I have dreamt about him two nights running, so he must have something?!

How was it sad, Bagpuss? Did his willy rot off from STD, or did he go insane from syphillis?
