Surprised there's so little interest on this board.
I've read a fair bit about this drama, and I'm getting pretty excited for it, as the BBC seem to be on a rather decent run for telly at the moment. For those who get The Times, there was a good, albeit melodramatic, interview with Dominic West, he mentioned this series a fair bit, inevitably compared it to Mad Men, yet the journo thinks it's far better; darker, drier and with a better plot.
I'm sure interest will pick up once The Shadow line has finished and the BBC start advertising The Hour, but there's a lot of interesting press out there, I can't wait for it. After Crimson Petal, I've grown far too fond of Romola Garai, too, so her role is an added bonus.
