THE REVIEW

What I thought: I lisetned to this one in one go, both watching my daughter swim and walking around Hereford a bit. I was completely hooked right from the begining, what a fantastic story. The concpet of the ‘hyphon/Mr Fingers’ is super creepy and works tremedously well in this story, the whole cast do a great job of selling this threat, Jackie and her mate are brilliant and Nervy steve is a bloody brilliant creation. The real highlight of the episode for me is the ending, where 9 starts to explain to us (via Rose) the darkness in his soul, the thing he doesnt want to think about, is running from all the time. Strong stuff. It is so well played and it is just like the 2005 series in every way, bloody brilliant!

Rating: 5 out of 5: I don’t think I have given a 100% score before, but this one, in my opinion, deserves it, bloody fantastic episode, acting, music, everything…fantastic!

What I felt: happy, completely hooked into this one, cant recommend this one enough.

What am I left thinking?

• Just poor old Nervy Steve
• Just in general where do they go from here?!?!?!

Memorable bits

• Nervey steve!
• Jackie
• Taps on the shoulder
