Episode 5.3 [rewatch]

[Tea Lady]

I don't mind this episode even though the main plot isn't totally original. It just gives us a chance to see a range of characters in action: Ros, Zaf, and Jo. Also the story-line helps with the H/R progression, or non-progression as it turns out.

I also love the Ros and Zaf scene in the Council offices. One of my favourite lines is the "no more horses in modern day warfare" one.

I felt that the girlfriend Lea/Lee was very similar to Tash in 4.1. I kind of wish they had come up with something a little more original there.

As for H/R, still love the roof scene. I have to re-watch that scene about 20 times when I watch this episode. I still find the dinner scene a little uncomfortable to watch as Ruth is so nervous, she doesn't really look like she is enjoying herself. As for the scene where she "dumps" Harry at the end, in his office, that upsets me everytime I watch it. All his hopes and dreams are dashed.
