HQ you have summed up my feelings exactly. I couldn't tell you what happened in Ep 1, I was so mad at them for the awful continuity error when I watched it. But since then things have started to come together, (with a little blip in the middle with the Lady A Ep, which promised so much and ended up just getting on my wick). Sunday was, as you say back to LRTC at its best, with a strong story line and strong performances (I feel some of the Thomas story lines recently have been a little OTT with the comedy........he's been grinning too much

).
The final 2 Eps seem to have serious story lines too, and also seem to promise so much............let's hope they deliver
