"That Would Never Happen!" Dan and Ali write the real reviews of UK TV drama serials (stuff marketed as quality, if you please), telling it like it is rather than the my-mate's-the-director, I-get-party-invites, or the I-need-my-job reviews that often appear.

Blue Eyes
More 4's latest Friday foreign drama takes up where 'Spin' left off. Paris is replaced by Stockholm but the skullduggery, betrayal and downright dirty politics are all present and (in)correct. Disgraced former Chief of Staff Elin (Louise Peterhoff) is waitressing when she is re-recruited. The previous occupant has supposedly gone on sick leave but we know that Sarah was tailed and that her abandoned car is in the woods. She was last seen pleading with Annika, a middle-aged mum who supports the far right. When Annika is threatened, things start to look conspiratorial. And intriguing. And generally like a timely and engrossing drama. Hurrah.
