John Hallam finally appears as Light, a powerful being that arrived on Earth to carry out a survey of all life forms, together with Control, only Control has started to evolve, as has everything on Earth.
It still has the atmosphere which was has been successfully built up, but it's taken on a very different sci fi angle, it has lost some of its Victorian gothic horror, but it's still there, Light has changed the course. It may not be easy to follow the plot, but it is there, a Google search may help.
John Hallam is very good as the strange cataloguer, Sharon Duce is fun as Control, but Sylvia Syms perhaps steals it, she's such a menacing figure.
It's all very wild, with half of the cast running around the house and the other half behaving in a sinister manner. Best scene is the dinner party, pretty grim, best line, 'the cream of Scotland yard.'
We could perhaps have done with another episode to spread the story out a bit, it does feel a little confused at times.
I'm not sure audiences were prepared for something so deep and baffling, turned out to be the last story ever made, and I'd argue one of the best, Cartmel was on the right track.
8/10.
