A most Kafkaesque situation from the Iranians - '"tell them to make the deal" - it's not very helpful, is it? Then the moment the debt repayment meeting is adjourned and two days later she's charged with more fictional crimes.
The Iranians with their lies and hostility are matched by the duplicity and callousness of the Brits. We'd forgotten Boris Johnson going public with the erroneous story that she's been training journalists - and didn't apologise.
Narges Rashidi and Joseph Fiennes are the unfortunate couple. Oh - that's who he is. I thought he was some unknown. They're good. The director is Phillippa Lowthorpe, who directed Misbehaviour (also edited by Úna) and, back in 2010, Five Daughters - which Butchard also wrote.
The series ends reminding us that over seventy female political prisoners still languish in that prison ward. That solidarity between them is one of the hopeful facets of the film.
