You do realise this is the third time I've been blown up..

This is an episode that really does tug at the heart strings, I found the most striking aspect being the story of young James, of course the gambling, sabotage and murder as all fascinating, but the trauma that little lad had gone through, and the subsequent act of his mother, it's captivating.

It's great, it's a very, very good, imaginative episode. A cracking story, magnitude production values, terrific acting as always, Kate Fleetwood arguably steals the show, over even the velvet voiced Stanley Townsend who I am a massive fan of.

Two scenes I loved in particular, Kitchen facing of with Michael Jayston, wonderful, and my favourite of the lot, Sam explaining her trauma to Foyle, such a wonderful scene.

I love how this show always made you think about aspects of the war that often went unnoticed, here they make us wonder what happened to the younger generation, with so many teachers on the front line, it's an interesting point.

Hand on heart, this is a wonderful, moving episode. 9/10.
