Season 1, Episode 12
9/10
Another sneaky Alan Bennett psychological sudoku

Monica Dolan is magnificent. She really makes us believe that she prevents the skid marks from eroding, she kneels at the shrine, she negotiates with the traffic policeman, she wears her hi-viz, she talks to the sheep, she discusses theology with the rev, and there's more. It's a little triumph of life over death.

So what's the gimmick? You want to know, don't you. Yes you do. You won't be disappointed. It's classic Alan Bennett, impeccably presented.
