9/10
A brilliant episode.
Sleepin_Dragon4 October 2021
Boyden attends to a distraught mother, who explains that her teenage daughter is missing, it transpires that she had argued with her father, and had been getting creepy phonecalls.

The first feature length episode for ages, and it really is a cracker.

Very much a race against the clock episode, it is such a tense watch, it works on every level, and not just for the obvious reason.

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, it's pretty sinister, quite gripping and it's of course incredibly well acted. It takes some unexpected turns, what you think is initially a domestic family saga, turns into something very different.

Within two seconds of hearing that answerphone message, you can hear the voice of David Tennant, who would have thought that such an awesome actor would have turned up, he is terrific in this. It's a very well acted episode, with a cracking cast, Dermot Crowley and Barbara Marten are great, look out for a young Honeysuckle Weeks too.

Loved it, 9/10.
