This is my only experience of a work by Salman Rushdie. I've never read any of his books and I imagine that saving me the effort of reading one was part of the appeal of this. Looking at the programme it was 3.5 hours long, has a huge cast playing multiple roles, and the programme includes both a timeline and a family tree - I wonder if it was incredibly complicated? I wonder if I enjoyed it, because yet again I remember nothing about it.
