Written by Jimmy McGovern, featuring two sets of brothers. Beck is back, and Penhaligon is determined to get him to confess to her rape. In this episode, Jimmy McGovern is as tough on women as he is men - no one is safe.
It's directed distractingly close up, but the fall of Beck - with its sound pulled - is still extraordinary.
Also we loved the head butt Fitz gives Beck outside the hospital - a 'hurrah' moment. Fitz's worried cab driver: 'You smoke as much as you want!'
With Robbie Coltrane is his brother Clive Russell (terrific scenes together). All cast at top of game: Geraldine Somerville, Lorcan Cranitch, Barbara Flynn, Robert Cavanah, Ricky Tomlinson, Paul Copley, Brid Brennan, David Calder, Mark Lambert.
It comes as no surprise that Fitz has been pissed at all three of Judith's births.
Paul Abbot is no longer producing - it's Hilary Bevan Jones. Dick Dodd is on camera, Edward Mansell editing - and he makes some lovely cuts in this one.
