Jericho was such a curates egg. Brilliant acting ... good cogent stories spoiled by an artificial style ... a sort of faux Noire ... often murky camera .... ultra closeups and a sound design leading to difficult to hear dialogue. (A problem the BBC suffers from a lot)
That said, this is the best episode of the four that make up the series.
A chilling Peter Bowles ... a sympathetic and expertly measured performance by William Ash as Johnny are only two amongst a really fabulous set of performances.
If the final scenes do not get to you then you have no heart.
So be prepared... there are twists and twists....
