I thought this was a very good episode, people returning who were meant to be six feet under, and the programme kept returning to the awful hanging scene which always gives me nightmares. I had to keep looking up Google to find out who acted what, I was stunned by David Hemmings as Malcolm Finlay, and Warren Mitchell as Edgar Truelove, the hangman. The ending, however exciting and in a way satisfying it was, as the baddy got his comeuppance bothered me for one reason. I don't think I am giving any spoilers by talking about the final scene when someone got hanged by a criminal, the police rush in...see him hanging...and do NOTHING. Cut the man down for heaven's sake! Maybe he's still alive and can be saved? But no, they just stare into the eyes of the criminal who did it. This is going to bother me for a long time.
