Life after Burton

I wondered if the series would continue to be as good without Amanda Burton who was very much the star of the show until she left. Well I needn't have worried. The acting is superb as is the script every week. But this two part episode was the best so far. I taped it and watched it twice to see if I could fault it or I was being particularly stupid and the answers were there all the time. No neither. Yes you could see some of the twists and turns but not the whole of it and as for the finish - well that blew me away. The excellent leads were complimented by young actors Tamsin Egerton, Natalia Cappuccini, Paul Richards and the outstanding Rebecca Oldfield.

Did you miss this one? Shame. Look out for the repeats. I'm keeping the tape.
