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!

But Davros, surely that would be a truly fabulous recommendation?

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.

I cried at the end too! Thank god it's being shown on the BBC because I missed two shows

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?!

Heathcliffscathy · 06/04/2005 13:29

ahhhh....david tennant. fancied him madly in blackpool. fancy him wildly in this. and i don't fancy celebs really. he does love and sex soooo well.

have only got terrestrial so only watched episode one. think peter o'toole is great too.

Chandra · 06/04/2005 13:34

When is the next episode? or have I already missed it?

Kayleigh · 06/04/2005 16:02

watched the first episode on lilibets recommendation. Thank you so much honey, I absolutely loved it

Bagpuss30 · 06/04/2005 16:03

It's great - ending so sad though.

serenity · 06/04/2005 16:21

Episode 2 next monday Chandra.

expatinscotland · 06/04/2005 16:24

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