Good solid episode with all the tension, kitchen sink drama and satisfying (if a bit sad) ending we have all come to expect from D4.
What grabbed me the most though was the great pleasure of seeing Louise Homfrey in more than just a 'keep that noise down' role. She plays a boarding house landlady with a theatrical past. If I were writing a biography of Louise Homfrey the way some people write biographies of Margaret Dumont, I would definitely use the line she gives early in the piece regarding 'every night lights, the applause, I never missed a performance, not one, oh I was in great demand.'
These are a couple of her more unsavoury boarders who, guess what, are crims.
One more thing to say about this one - don't get me wrong, it's great, but it's not especially great - is that for some reason it begins with the old credit sequence, abandoned a few months previously. Wonder what that was about.
