Part 6: After a night of questioning, Clearance is let go, he thinks it is over till the real murderer turns up .

I had a problem with this one as it seems to start off well then looses it track then slightly becomes more interesting as the plot seems all over the place, with a dog napping then turns to something else that involves stalking and murder, the twist was something I didn't expect at the end.

Part 4: As David and the girl take refuge in a house they inform the police they have a hostage, David's brainwashing drug is slowly wearing off will his mental state be the undoing of them both.

This was quite a tense story of fear and how a mental state of a person on a drug and the effects it can have when it wears off, Denis Lawson who plays David decently and at times feel sorry for the character who may loose all parts of sanity he has. The last episode seemed a bit over the place as it was a mix of what is real and what isn't.

Part 6: Death and Decision

This one had me on the edge of my seat to the point of falling off onto my ass, nice little tale of murder mystery added in with a bland of old Gothic horror. Maria Aitkin plays the journalist pretty well that you can almost feel her fear when she is in the attic and a figure stands up to the point I almost needed a clean pair of shorts.

This started off good then as it went on, it become more suspenseful and more intriguing as a man has mind games played on him and he decides to play cat and mouse back. James Bolam plays the lead and shows off his excellent acting skills, it won't have you gripping your seat but this was certainly enjoyable.

Kurtan: “I was on Tinder for a bit. But I wasn’t getting any matches, so…”
Kerry: “You didn’t get one match.”
Kurtan: “Yeah. Not one match. That’s only cos no-one round here is on Tinder, so, you know, I had to keep setting my radius further and further and further, then the radius got to France. And it just got silly by the end. You know. I can’t afford to be going back and forth on the tunnel every other weekend.”
