Critical reception
Allmovie called it "a better-than-usual British programmer, entertaining despite its surplus of unpleasant leading characters."[3]
gollark: It would hypothetically be fairly safe to only talk about it in meta-level hypotheticals.
gollark: If it was hypothetically secret, then hypothetically, telling you information about it could hypothetically permit cryptanalysis.
gollark: Do you know how "secrecy" works, in general?
gollark: Anyway, hypothetically, if I was reading out secret data, it would be very stupid to just tell people what it was.
gollark: I'm probably not Russian, so no.
