Not as good as the first, unfortunately. The Americans with the dark glasses security people doesn't work as well, Chen is sorely missed (his replacement Dominic Arnold isn't so well integrated), Joanna Kanska is a scary substitute for Amanda Hillwood. But still enjoying the characters of wily Jock (Graham Crowden), immoral bastard Bob (David Troughton) and the increasingly defiant Steven (Peter Davison).
Stuff with nuns getting a bit silly and old hat now. The manipulations of the healthcare practice, most notably enacted in the scene where they turn the visiting psychoanalyst into a quivering wreck, still fun, but Rose is getting annoying and we would have liked to have her receive some kind of comeuppance for her Machiavellian behaviour.
However it does underline the zeitgeist - money over education - and that Solidarnosc banner is not there idly.
