I really enjoyed this as a "lower" budget film I thought the lead actors made it, and it felt more real because of the honesty of the production and details, I felt compassion for all lead characters it must have been hell on earth living in Victorian times if you were poor so you can understand why these people hated the rich and arrogant so much when people of their own working class were being made to "sell" themselves and degrade themselves to such degree. Great acting all round in my view despite the lower budget especially from Terry Bird (Todd),, Jo Dyson (Mrs Lovett),, Steven Brandon (Tobias)great job guys.
