WEEKEND IN THE COUNTRY is a really fine episode of the show in which the tension is racked up to the limit throughout and the whole thing builds to an explosive climax. It's another hostage scenario, with our unlucky twosome on holiday and finding themselves imprisoned in a farmhouse by ruthless gang members. The supporting cast, which includes Brians Pringle and Croucher, is excellent and the emphasis on hard-hitting action and thrills over the more familiar jokey humour is a great decision.
