Series 9 Episode 2 discussion

[Naivety]

It got me going for a minute!

I wasn't sure about the three angles, I thought it was an exercise in making a shorter film stretch further. I hope the other episodes won't all be like that.

I'd like to see some interaction between Ruth and Beth in the flat, sharing that bottle of wine perhaps. Laughing and gossiping.

I thought that Peter Firth was superb as usual, he is slimmer in this series and has lighter hair which has made him look younger. I love it when he goes out and speaks to the diplomats and business tycoons. Diplomatic but deadly!

On the whole, speaking as a H/R fan, it wasn't as good as last week, although there is still some angst. It's still the best thing on British TV.
