    Way over the top, but entertaining.

    Franny approaches Chris and Rachel with the video, his demand, ten grand, with little choice other than to pay up, Chris has to do a job for Jodie, a job that could see him land up in prison.

    There's no denying, it's good telly, it's definitely interesting and entertaining, it's the sort of drama that will have you on the edge of the seat, with a sunken feeling in the pit of your stomach.

    I thought the highlight was definitely the Neil scene, very sad, very moving, nicely acted.

    They are pushing the boundaries of believability and credibility I think it's fair to say, but it's definitely too notch entertainment.

    Life for Chris...if he were a sitcom character, I'm sure he would be Frank Spencer, the poor, hapless chap lurches from one disaster to the next, Freeman just needs a grey mac and a beret, occasionally shouting out 'ooooh Betty.'

    8/10.

      Marco's response to Neil saying 'Have you seen The Sun?' is 'Nah mate, don't read that shite' is a reference to the British tabloid The Sun. It is still boycotted on Merseyside over its coverage of The Hillsborough Disaster in 1989.
