I found this program an absolute mess. It was so boring , It dragged out for 3 hours and could have said everything that needed to be said in 1 hour. I thought Helena Bonham-Carter was awful as Noel. She didn't look anything like her and the wig she was waring wouldn't have passed muster at Blackpool tower Circus. And why were the stage sequences filmed in Manchester and Stockport when they were supposed to represent the West End ? Why did they bother to make this program when the 1 hour documentary that followed gave us everything we needed to know and did it better.
