Billingsgate

I have just seen this episode on the Drama TV channel and I seem, to be the only one making a review that isn't exactly chuffed about it.

I followed the story along to over half way through, and it then became to say the least somewhat convoluted.

I am used to a few red herrings in these shows but frankly, it appeared to morph into billingsgate.

And then quite literally near the death of the episode, another well for me it was just 1 fish to many.

Long before this I had ceased giving a monkeys, about who was who or why.
