Well after a really stressful christmas day, and almost crashing my car on the way home from the folks', I finally sat down to watch this at 11 o'clock. And what did RTD give me, what was his bloody Christmas present to me? This. This...this... Fantastic hour of telly! Seriously I was probably just in exactly the right mood to watch it and maybe on second viewing I won't like it nearly as much, but on first viewing at least, I...
