criticism
The series was one of the first British TV series to have stereo sound, which was very popular with young people. In the cinematic implementation, the poor dramaturgy was criticized: "its chiefest goal seemed to have been to explore just how very badly a dramatization can corrupt and befoul the ideas and characters of a book".
