Episode #1.3

Peter learns of Charmian's fate, he also had to deal with a family dinner, put together by his daughter, who wants answers.

We had two possibilities for Roadkill, we soon learn which of the contenders it is.

David Tennant is going to be hard to beat as the contender for best actor after Des, but Laurie isn't far behind here, he's excellent, you see him switch from troubled, slightly disinterested family man to false man of the people.

It's another excellent episode, it's a good balance between drama, current affairs and intrigue. I would again have to point out that there is a little bit of political bias, he's a Tory MP, so obviously wants to sell off the NHS, BBC that's a little bit naughty.

You're just waiting for things to spiral out of control for him, next episode I guess.

It is very good drama, 8/10.

Poor Charmian. She ended up as roadkill but did Peter Laurence arrange it because she got so close to the truth?

It is left for barrister Rochelle to follow the trail but she will have ethical issues as she represented Peter in court.

As for Peter, he probably wishes that he stayed in hospital after his own car accident. His daughters round on him over his affairs and he sheepishly admits to having an illegitimate daughter.

At least Peter has time to contemplate who might be betraying him and leaking information against him.

Having been familiar with a lot of David Hare's screen work. This just comes across as a rather flat soap opera when I expected a riveting thriller.

It also looks like something that would had been better off on BBC2.
