I can see why this has come in for some stick, and why for many it's seen as one of the weaker entries in a very strong series.
Some positives, polio was a horrific affliction which affected many people during this time, including my own grandparents, I thought the way it was dealt with was very good, showing just how tough it was for those poor people. The usual production values, filming, costumes etc were all on point. Mark Williams and co never disappoint.
The downside for Mr was the story itself, which I found somewhat silly, the characters were rather badly drawn, even the likes of Mark Benton and Sandy McDade, both actors I have a huge fondness for failed to bring to life their respective characters.
The show is always on point, so a little blip can be forgiven 6/10
