SO, WHAT do we reckon?

- By MIKE WARD, television critic

Do we reckon he dun her in, as I believe they say in the trade? It’s certainly looking that way.But surely it can’t be that straightforward can it? Not with five episodes still to come. Or maybe it can, who knows?

Sorry, I'm rambling.

The “he” I’m referring to here is private school headmaster Michael Polly, the chap David Morrissey plays in this new psychological thriller. The “her” is his wife Sarah, whose disappearance he reported to the police in last night's opening episode (Eve Myles is playing the cop we have to care about the most, DS Annie Cassidy).
