Agreed! They had an ending, but it wasn't satisfactory. I think maybe the story line and characters were a little bit difficult to handle, like herding cats.
You are right, @SPedigrees , LOTS of good BBC episodes to watch. yesterday, I was dozing/watching the Great Performances, "Now Hear This!' episode on Boccerini's night music.

at 9:11 you can hear the 5th movement, which is same music you might remember used in the movie, "Master and Commander," a few years ago, where the cellists and violinist strum like guitarists, a not so common compostion technique often used by IMHO music geniuses bored by the rest of the world and showing off, where you make YOUR instrument play like another instrument, something not even God intended to happen.
As a musician, I love it anyway. It's one of my guilty pleasures. :rolleyes:
