Episode 4

[Prismark10 · 6/10 · 26 June 2021]

The best episode so far as it starts with Nancy and Richard's disintegrating relationship.

Richards addiction with gambling has left the couple in severe debt. It comes as a shock to Nancy who wants to put her life to some kind of order.

The episode reveals her as the blackmailer and also tests her faith.

The episode also plants seeds that someone else might have had a reason to kill Jack.

Wonderful acting by Julie Hesmondhalgh and Adrian Edmondson.

The ultimate betrayal.

Nancy and Richard's situation is revealed, Anna manages to trace the call.

For my money, this was the best episode so far, I thought this was absolutely terrific, superb acting, terrific content, and a real sense of cleverness.

The big scene, the revelation, comes as a big shock, Anna feels the burn from what is pretty much the ultimate betrayal.

I wondered why Ade Edmondson was here as a supernumerary player, he gets his chance to show how good he is here, both he and Hesmondhalgh are terrific here.

Peter McTighe, the writer, I wasn't perhaps the greatest fan of his writing on Dr Who, the pretty good Kerblam, and the very average Praxeus, a shame that both he and Chris Chibnall don't stick to crime dramas, as the pair clearly shine in this genre, the writing her is excellent.

Loved it, 9/10.
