I thought the early stuff was very good, Marley was great and the ghost of Xmas past was just excellent, just how it should be depicted. I was OK with the ghost of Xmas present, but the series really was unbalanced with the 3 ghosts and the storyline. The ghost of Xmas yet to be was just awful. And the strong storyline petered out. Real shame as it had potential to be one of the best reductions of CC ever.
