Oh dear - is that the one where a great fat simpering woman in baggy trousers leaps about pretending to be Hansel?
Their Turn of the Screw was excellent though. Have any other things appeared so far in this series?
I haven't seen this production yet, but I believe both Hansel and Gretel were cast for their verisimilitude. There is a 5-minute trailer on the site showing excerpts, to get a glimpse of how it actually looks.
The main highlight for me in this series was the magnificent McVicar/Jurowsky MEISTERSINGER. Sadly that relay is no longer available to view - as they plan to release it on a commercial dvd next year. Gerald Finlay was a superb Sachs, and McVicar pulled the rabbit out of the hat with the production.
