Not only the opening on Sun Hill, hence by this two-part episode title, why I'm giving the review of this episode now.
I'm assuming as because the episode was broadcast live, I can see several issues with this episode including the terrible camera work (way zooms in and out fast, and moves about unsteadily), there was a cameraman visible in background, and studio equipment and microphones shown in corners of the screen (still prefer this over 2003 live episode: "Fatal Consequences"). Add as well, when episode ends, the one-second delay between the gunshot and the blood pack exploding in chest of Jeff Clarke's actor.
Also this is first of the two-part episodes where Terry Perkins is held hostage and tries to take control - other episode in series 24: "Assault on Sun Hill" with two masked boyfriends and armed criminal Jimmy Duncan (Paul Brightwell).
PC David Kent is in another tricky situation this time his adopted brother Gabriel (who he's taking his life from) has returned from America. Unfortunately for the real Gabriel Kent, he gets injured from a gunshot wound and that backward somersault fall from the landing at top of the stairs, which gave PC Kent the chance to steal his phone and wallet - yet, I'm certain Phil Hunter and Samantha Nixon should have seen him do it as they were there at bottom of stairs, even asked Gabriel later if he had identification on him. Anyway, Gabriel mildly telling his brother to keep his mouth shut as to not ruin his life.
As much as some really don't Superintendent Prosser even getting Gina suspended for her drinking and bottled whiskey found, and her phony support to grieving father Jeff and she tells Jack Meadows off about passing judgment (as she foolishly told Dan Casper go for the gun), her actress Serena Gordon is still extremely beautiful. I do wish both Prosser and Jeff Clarke become an item - her in dress and pins, while Clarke still had that suit and tie on.
Not long I realised that Jeff Clarke's actor returns in series 26 episode as Rory who a violent criminal out for revenge via abducting his parents.
