    A Sleepy One

    A rather relaxed episode this, particularly apt as it revolves around the residents of an Elderly Care Home. Deaths are frequent and plentiful, but are they natural? Difficult to tell when the average resident seems fairly ancient. Do we really get to behave like this lot when we get old? Unfortunately yes, we jolly well do, which makes this one all the more interesting. Maybe not as exciting as the standard format, but plenty of humour, if subtle. An extremely well written and thought out episode, excellent direction and spot on with the atmosphere. Don't miss this - and if you've got a relative in care, well. Perhaps pay them a visit soon if you haven't lately?

    Well paced murder

    Typical well paced murder mystery with usual shocks and surprises. Good plot with a seat gipping climax. Had a sense of Deja Vu. Thought it had glaring similarities to Agatha Christie's By The Pricking Of My Thumbs.
