Greetings from Finland. Also here aired in two 86min episodes.
I agree with @KenKnudsen. I saw this when it first aired on BBC a few weeks back. I was exited to see it... but did not last the first episode. I just shut it off and put it to the back of my TV watching queue. I mean it was not awful but it also wasn't War of the Worlds, as I knew it. It they gave it another name and did not link it to WotW... than it might be passable.
