I'd not heard of this until today, but moments before reading your post a mate who never watches TV mentioned it, and moments after it came up in a podcast I was listening to.

I'm might have to watch it now...

resist!

I didn't manage to resist. I think I want to read the book now rather than wait through a number of TV series for the overarching plot to be revealed.

It does have Jack Davenport in, though.

I almost guarantee the book won't spoil your enjoyment of the series. From what I can see, it's going in a completely different direction.

(Hands up, though, who's putting bets on Lloyd Simcoe being the evil one???)

He did pretty much wave a giant flag saying "I am evil" didn't he ;0)

I was wondering how the show was going to be a big mystery if it was based on a book, but I guess if it's more about the concept of the book than the details it won't be quite so easy to work it out.

It had quite a scary number of British actors in it, apparently we're staging some kind of invasion ;0)
