Who isn't lying!
Sleepin_Dragon30 April 2018
The second part delves deeper into the strange shooting of Sam Harvey's parents. You instantly become aware that this could have only been written by Durbridge, even though it doesn't quite have the intriguing depth that the productions from the sixties and seventies had, it's still a good watch. In this episode I felt there was perhaps a little too much time spent into digging Sam into a hole, with everyone lying, the plot seemed to lose the thread a little, with Sam almost indifferent to the tragic death of his beloved parents, he didn't seem moved in the slightest. The convenient scene where Sam got into Jill Ryan's car was lazily written, but the end of the episode was great, very dramatic.

A mixed bag, watchable, just in danger of losing the thread.
