Episode 1 Discussion [Rewatch]

[Tea Lady]

A gripping first episode. It would certainly make you tune in next week for more, especially as it started with a car being blown up which you dont really get with the usual BBC drama. Loved the way they lost the cat and then having to get the hairdryer out. A great combination of serious drama and comedy. I also liked the way they started the series with this storyline and not a middle east terrorist related one which must have been a temptation at this particular time. It made it look like a serious programme with wider ideas for both plot and character development.

As for the characters I liked Tessa. I got the impression that she doesnt really like anyone and they are all an annoyance to her. I feel she thinks she should be higher up the ladder by now rather than just watching ports. Loved her face when she was handed the extradition warrant back. Priceless.

Not sure about the Harry character though. Not sure he has many miles in him.
