The second episode of The Paradise builds on the strengths of the first, but without necessarily rectifying its weaknesses.
Twenty-four years after the first series aired and over three years since Back to Earth was broadcast, Red Dwarf has returned.
Frustratingly generic, the first episode of BBC One’s new eight-part thriller Hunted marks a serious departure from form for almost everyone involved.
So, have Amy and Rory departed the TARDIS with a bang or a whimper? Well a bit of both, actually.
The episode reconfirms the state of play and shows us the battle lines ready for what may be a climatic series, as well as leaving us on a tremendous cliffhanger.
Does the first episode of The Paradise differentiate itself enough to find its own niche in the already cluttered world of television costume dramas?
There are times when Downton Abbey resembles nothing so much as an episode of French and Saunders.
To those who stuck through the series it has been worth it for the many positives that have made Sinbad nothing less than very enjoyable.
Yes, you will need hankies ready. Goodbyes are no more easy for Time Lords than they are for us.
It’s a wannabe epic, but (and this is definitely a latter-day Torchwood trait) neither the passing of time nor the global scale are convincing.
