Well the first episode is done and Scrooge so far has yet to journey with the Ghost of Christmas Past.
If this funereal pace continues, it will be New Years Day by the time Scrooge discovers the true meaning of Christmas.
Well we get a good idea why Scrooge has psychological issues. His dad had a special arrangement with the headmaster of the school. Young Ebenezer was the headmaster's special present for Christmas Day.
When Mrs Cratchit asks the elder Scrooge for some money for Tiny Tim's medical treatment, well he offers it as a gift in return for sexual favours.
At least it offers a more realistic view of Victorian values. It was all about exploitation.
However it reallys need to ramp up the pace for the final episode. No way was this suitable as a three part series.
