What a real mixed bag this episode turned out to be, I need a rant about ITV's schedulers first, TWO EPISODES is not a series ITV, these have been shown in many places ahead of the UK, WHY? It is no wonder the show is losing viewers by the calamitous transmission dates.
The start, terrific, I loved it, very dramatic, really had my attention. The many references to the past were wonderful, I loved looking out for those, we had The Green Man pub, the folk song, place names, and many others, that was a nice touch. I loved the cast, Mark Benton and Ray Fearon were great, John Light was woefully underused. It was great to see the return of Birgitte Poulsen.
The problem, was just after the half way point it got a little boring, I was yawning and fidgeting, worse though, the ending was utterly absurd, and didn't seem to make sense somehow. A shame, as last week's episode was terrific.
I thought this was average at best. 6/10
