This episode is good, even if it never quite convinces. John Thaw is very good as Kavanagh and Geraldine James makes a welcome return as Eleanor Harker. The plot isn't as tightly structured or as compelling this time around and some of the courtroom scenes lack fire and feel underplayed on occasions. Out of the supporting performances, Lisa Harrow, Rupert Penry-Jones and Ray Winstone come off best. The script is decent, the camera work is of high quality and the music is beautiful.

Overall, not a complete disaster, elevated by some great acting and production values but one of the least convincing episodes of the series. 8/10 Bethany Cox
