The background story was complex and intriguing. The mature guest star's acting outstanding as usual. On the other hand, the actress playing Marion seemed to have been groomed in that 2010s acting tradition of "blurting out one's lines in an expressionless fashion." Her actions as per the script were likewise one-dimensional. It is also hard not no notice that every major character, male and female, old and young, has aged considerably at this point and piled on the pounds. And the preachy, proto-progressive foreshadowing of today's gender politics does not exactly add to the viewer appeal. I expect the BBC to challenge and problematize my thinking, not drag it to the one pre-approved "truth."
