Perhaps the strongest episode from Series X so far, this episode has so much going for it.

Oh, Downton Abbey – how could you? You go through an entire world war and barely kill off a soul, and now you sacrifice the youngest and demurest of them all!
One week in and is Hunted the worthy successor to Spooks that we hoped for?
A bit more thought-provoking than the episode that preceded it, the second episode of Red Dwarf’s new series is ultimately a slightly mixed but entertaining affair.
