[TV] Dracula

[Dave the OAP]

Brilliant series

I thought episode 1 was very good, loved the vampire baby,the nun taunting Dracula at the convent gate,a few genuinely chilling moments but what a difference between eps 1 and 2.The second episode almost became a Carry On Film. It was unintentionally hilarious, the reveal at the end was unexpected but other than that it was so awful it was worth watching for the comedy value. I will watch the last episode tonight but I have no idea what to expect

Been away for New Year in France with friends, saw some of the first episode and it was a bit long winded, did not listen to all the dialogue as was drinking heartily …. I recall there was so much yakking between the senior nun and Dracula that went on and on... FFS, tell him " You are not wanted here, piss off " and then lock the gates,doors and windows and have the nuns room in pairs, one sleeping, one awake covering with a crucifix and wooden stake and rotate. simples

You’re the sort of bloke who’d baulk at the damsel who turns her ankle when running from the plodding Frankenstein wouldnt you ?

She should be suitably attired in advance, no excuse for bad planning. Anyway, Frankenstein, in the Mike Spilligan version, used to stagger the land looking to cadge a roll up rather than to do bad things.

The Gene Hackman and Peter Boyle scene takes some beating in horror spoofs ...

‘He might be a vampire but he has rights’..... marvellous satire on today’s society.

I watched it all in the one go on iplayer.

Thought it was brilliant, great acting, casting and loved the unexpected switch to modern times. Very different from all previous takes on the story.

Great take on an old tale. Thought that episode 1 was outstanding with the banter between the count and the nun. Best line " I'm undead not unreasonable ".

Thought the last episode was utter shit.

Episode 2 was the highlight for me. Classic Moffat 'bottle episode' type thing.

A bit of a disappointing ending for me. After 500 years he's just realised he doesn't burn in the sunlight WTF, but all in all a cracking series with quality dark humour.

I made the mistake of leaving it a bit late to watch this on iplayer. I watched the first two episodes without any issues but for the final episode yesterday it was accompanied by a really annoying audio description... "Dracula takes two steps back" "Dracula looks at her with a winning smile" etc etc. I thought I had accidentally pressed the AD button but just couldn't find a way to turn it off. I subsequently discovered that non AD versions often expire before the AD version so you have no choice but to watch it with the audio description. It was considerably more intrusive than the little person in the corner of the screen doing sign language which you often get in late night repeats of certain programmes.
