(This is after watching the first episode only)
As a single-voiced, 15 minute audio series, Annika is sublime. One of the best things on radio, so I can understand them trying to convert it to a tv series.
But it just doesn't work.
Nicola Walker is excellent as ever, but the charm, the pace and the pathos of the original is lost in a mish-mash of scenes stapled together to make an hour long narrative.
Such a shame.
