Very interesting.

British Tennis star Rodney Maitland is accused of libel, claiming that the father of his former girlfriend Gail, deliberately caused her to abort her child, Maitland himself tried to take his life after the news.

Well, this is possibly the most complex episode to date, you need to pay attention and concentrate or you'll miss some of the detail.

Initially it seemed as if Maitland was the injured party, but in this complicated plot, he's actually the accused.

You once again need to transport your mind back to 1972, a time where attitudes were of course very different, Gail was sixteen years of age, frowned upon but accepted at the time.

It's very well acted, the legal teams great once again, but it was the stoic performance from Bernard Archard that I enjoyed most of all.

A complex case, but such an interesting one.

8/10.
