Hidden (episode two) *spoilers*

OK, not quite so chic....


Gripping.  Everyone’s grubby, and the plot’s enormous.

But, a couple of pedant’s points:

  •  The newsreader’s scorn at the PM’s activities didn’t sound professional, more like Paxman in overdrive.
  • Would the Helpdesk allow their Clean Skins to operate in the UK?  For the uninitiated, or those confused or forgetful, that translates as: would the shady pseudo-establishment outfit allow the criminals they’d officially killed, but unofficially kept alive as state assassins, to do their stuff in the UK?  What are the chances they’d bump into someone who knew them?  In this small world of ours, we’d say pretty high and it’s the premise of the whole show after all….
As for Anna Chancellor, she gets our vote, for being far more smartly turned out and downright chic than any woman MP we can think of, and for looking so darned comfortable and confident on that sofa while plotting a coup.  You’ve come a long way, Duck Face!
