Quite possibly the best episode of a drama on TV I've seen this year. All three of the main characters were superb, especially Lesley Sharp although both Kenneth Cranham and Andrew Lincoln were more than special in their supporting roles. Lesley Sharp who learnt her skills at Guilhall School of Music & Drama in London is an inspiration to anyone wishing to go into the acting profession and also a reminder that the level of ability needed to make it to the top is not something to be underestimated. I would be interested in finding out whether Amy Hart, who played the young Alison Mundy, is related to Lesley Sharp because if not the producers need special mention for finding such a wonderful look-alike. Well done again.

An incredible episode.

Robert is trying to sort everything he can with his limited time, he tries reuniting Alison with her father Stan.
It is yet another phenomenal episode, it's totally different to all that have gone before, it's revealing, it's edgy, we see Alison and Robert drifting further apart, each consumed by theory own problems.
Very much Alison's story, we've learned so much about her throughout the whole series, but this is the first episode that actually focuses on her story. Here we learn how and why Alison ended up where she did, we understand her complex relationship with her dad, and we get an idea of when her gift manifested.
The acting once again is absolutely incredible, Lesley Sharp once again delivers a tour de force as Alison, she is so talented. The young Amy Hart was perfectly cast as Alison, Craig Kelly and Kenneth Cranham were marvellous as Stan.
10/10.
