Around this time they were making a few average episodes, but this one ranks as one of the show's worst. I cannot decide if this one, or Night of the Stag is the winner of overall worst episode. Everything about this episode stinks, hideous direction, some over the top acting, horrid imagery and a totally loose plot with more holes in it then a colander. It gets a 2 rather then a 1 because I enjoyed Richard Harrington's performance, when he's bumped off in that stupid way it really does fall apart. Even the normally very good Daniel Ryan fails to do anything here, he overacts and towards the end totally loses the plot. My interest lasted 20 minutes, the remainder was painful to watch, the switching between present day and old USA was shockingly bad, Adam Burbage should have shot them all dead in minutes, it made absolutely no sense. If you can get to the end and enjoy you have great staying power. Every conceivable gypsy cliché is played out here too. I can't see how anyone could sit through this and enjoy it. 2/10
