Maestro


I dunno about this series. I thought it just got worse and worse. I watched them all but last night I just gave up and watched the excellent Flight of the Conchords on BBC4 instead.  Maestro is precisely the kind of thing that should appeal to a pretentious git like myself but I got really irritated by it. I'd say there was a little bit wrong with almost every aspect of it. Clive Anderson being particularly insufferable at times. And like the proverbial curate's egg the bad bits ended up spoiling the whole thing. A great idea in theory but they should have thought it through properly and - on balance - opted to show the test card instead. Then I could have read a book or went to the pub. Or watched the test card.
