This is a very dramatic episode of the show, that sees Viv get caught up in a prison raid, with Chris and Ray nearly dying in the process.
It's nail biting stuff at times, very different from the format that 'Ashes' has used throughout its run and clung too perhaps a bit too closely, but is all the better for it.
The 'Alex wants to go home' story has been side-lined in favour of 'who is Gene Hunt', meaning again there's an awful lot for the writers to tie up in the remaining two episodes, but lets not take away from the fact that this is stellar entertainment, and gripping from start to finish.
