Radio 4's "Front Row" arts programme gave Armageddon the thumbs up - well
written, believable characters & dialogue, an ensemble cast (not just a
star vehicle for Brucie) and a degree of emotional commitment.  I also got
the impression that the SFX served the story rather than the other way round.

BTW I think Texas probably could sneak up - in astronomical terms it's not
that big!
