Tarrant's brother Deeta takes part in a competition, a matter of life and death, with very high stakes.
I couldn't quite remember this one, and after Moloch, I did manage my expectations a little better, but this was a very, very good episode.
I definitely get Star Trek vibes here, and there's even a nice little heads up to it, but this does work, it's good old fashioned sci fi, the kind of plot you'd see on a 1980's sci fi epic.
Pacey does a pretty good job, one of his better episodes, I just wish he hadn't played the dual parts, it would have worked so much better if Deeta was played by someone else, it was just a product of its time. The wig though, that was horrendous.
I loved Pearce's involvement, a very different story for her to be in, not playing her usual role, I loved her scenes with Avon.
Really good episode, 8/10.
