melwilOk. Just this one before I go to the shops.
3.8
So. Rockstars, eh?
Ahhh. Oliver Mace.
Riff's wink at the Queen is perfect. But that party doesn't actually look like a whole lot of fun to me. I suppose I'm just not rock star enough. And distracting the guard with sex seems like a bit of a cliche, doesn't it?
Love all the oversized stuffed animals in the nursery. And poor Malcolm trying to work with B. And B curling up against Harry is hysterical. She's really all over the joint, though. In retrospect she'd so very obviously guilty.
Hee! Adam's informant is a magazine editor.
Love the Ruth, Danny and Sam singing along to the music and Ruth saying that it's her youth. The thought amuses me.
Knowing more of Fiona's back story, it's a bit easier to understand why Adam doesn't want her to work in the field. Of course it's completely contrary to the information we had previously.
Ruth and Harry are flirting again! He loves her for her devious brain.
The time pass, when Harry leaves and Oliver Mace turns up is great. That pollie is a horrid little piece of work. Mace should have just strangled him.
Malcolm and Fiona have a lovely little chemistry going on - more than Malcolm usually has with 'active' agents.
Love that Riff's idea of staying straight is 'doing Vodka'
The baby's death really turns it all upside down.
Harry: "Knock"
Adam knocks on the table - HEE!! Poor Harry and his want for people to knock.
Hmmmm. Adam seems to have a thing for meatballs.
Riff cutting up his arm is truly, truly awful.
"Other people's pleasures are so boring." Hee, Malcolm. Coming from the king of crosswords and unfulfilled crushes . . .
There's something missing in this episode. Maybe it's because we've had three episodes with such heavy moral themes and with such personal angst. This episode kinda falls flat. There's no sympathy for the characters involved, I suppose.

on 2007-09-28 07:44 am (UTC)The thing missing? Was a decent PLOT. MI5 go looking for the missing baby of a rockstar WHAT?
(I have long maintained that this plot idea should have been in the pile for Hustle - a Kudos show about conmen - and it got put it the wrong pile one day and no-one noticed)
Also, 'I'm your window onto Fleet Street'? Oh, PLEASE.
