Bert and Sam finally get to work on their plan, but news comes through that a painting at the museum has been vandalised, meaning security and police presence will be ramped up.
We've got the watch, Blas alerting the police, Bert and her cancer, Jackie and her husband, the vicar, the paint, the police, and the guy whose stuff was stolen-honestly, it's just too much. They've tried to fit too much in; it needed to be tighter, more compact, and focused.
The tongue-in-cheek humour of episode two really worked-jewellery comically pinched from unsuspecting guests at a funeral was brilliant, and some of that was recreated here in the museum scenes.
Dare I say, this was an improvement over episode three, but I still can't decide if I'm fully convinced. The shocking and unexpected twist came out of nowhere, adding a bit more intrigue.
Blas shows us the power of enterprise: you leave a job at half two and walk into your next one at ten past three-it can be done. Lee Boardman does what he does best here, playing something horrible, hopefully nobody else wants a share, or these cuts will be enough for a bottle of Rioja and a large paella.
I'm enjoying the chaos, but that's what it is now: an absolute mess of strands and dangling threads.
7/10.
