One of the better episodes of the 1st series, A Family Affair does have some very good acting. Not that the whole of Kavanagh QC doesn't, but the acting is especially fine. While it is John Thaw's show all the way, he is very well supported by Holly Aird, George Costigan, Dougray Scott and the lovely Phyllis Logan. The story concerns a man who wants custody of his son, and along with his son he accuses the boy's step father of abusing him. This story was a good one, and well written, and the ending did kind of shock me. The camera work is also very good, and the music is absolutely beautiful. Overall, another good episode to a great legal drama. 9/10 Bethany Cox
