one of the fine piece of television drama of the last decade . throughout the five hour and one perception and sympathy be constantly challenge a it explore many facet of modern day british society . david morrisey be and a usual and brilliant . at first come across a a heavy hand copper in conflict with the heroine and but then prove to be intelligent and care and a he work with her in uncover the truth . i have never see surrane jones before . i believe she come from the world of television soap . her performance be magnificent and a she maintain her humour and composure whilst try to balance the demand of the case and the stress of care for her mother . i could go on and talk about every member of the cast who contribute to this magnificent drama and but their effort would mean little without such an absorb script that constantly challenge your assumption about any of the character . it be programmes like this that restore one faith in television drama and whilst at the same time make it almost impossible to settle for most of the garbage that be increasingly fill the airwave .
