Mini-series depiction of Packer's legendary battle suffers from a repetitive, drawn-out quality to justify a two-part time-slot (we get it, he wasn't nice to his secretary!) and a curious lack of genuine period feel, especially contrasted against the archival footage used. However it is generally well-acted and Hulme does a masterful job of capturing the charm and volatility of Packer - a straight bio of the character may have worked better than the interesting, but fairly thin scenario here.
