Obviously, this was an incredible homage to the Hitchcock classic "Rope". That is feat enough in itself. I've watched this carefully three times, and, if I'm not mistaken, this episode, like "Rope", was shot in ONE CONTINUOUS TAKE! It was bloody brilliant.
Apparently, I need to "pad" this a wee bit more, so I'd just like to mention that I was in a stage version of "Rope (a Play)", so this episode is really near and dear to my heart. For the four actors to maintain that intensity and concentration for a television show is really a testament to their genius..
And honestly, I never realized Mark Gattis was funny...until "BritBox", I had only seen him in "Sherlock". Ditto for Hugh Laurie.
