Cool! Andy Serkis as Screwtape; too bad Douglas Gresham isn't reading C.S. Lewis as narrator. (He has a great oration voice; and carries on lectures as Lewis' stepson, for those who don't know.)

I was afraid at first that this was the execrable stage-play adaptation I watched seven or ten years ago. But it doesn't seem to be. Might be just as bad, of course--they've obviously tried fleshing it out as a drama again, and the "do not cross" police-tape graphics don't look encouraging--but at least it's going to try to be period (set during the London Blitz.)
