After writing-off the BBC's new drama series 'Outcasts', I thought I should give it a second chance, just to see if there was any possibility that my initial reaction had been wrong.
What a mistake. Episodes 3 and 4 were every bit as rubbishy as the first 2. Dramatic music galore, glowering looks everywhere and a script so lacking in anything meaningful as to be pointless. What the storyline is, is anyone's guess, the horribly miscast characters could just as well be played by the 'Woodentops' (remember them ? Their show made sense) and, all in all, this programme is utter drivel.
Last year, the 'Beeb' wasted heaven knows how much on another over-hyped drama, 'The Deep', which sank without trace; not long before that, we were subjected to 'Survivors', another disastrous load of ridiculous nonsense. One would have thought they'd have learned their lesson from these miserable failures but it seems not. Suffice it to say that I won't be watching any more of this tripe.
